  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Description

This 90 Second Pumpkin Loaf is a warm, spiced, single-serve treat you can make right in the microwave. It’s moist, flavorful, and topped with a creamy cinnamon-spiced frosting—perfect for when you need a quick fall-inspired dessert or snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tbsp almond flour
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp sweetener (brown sugar replacement or allulose)
  • 1 tsp pumpkin purée
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 2 tbsp softened cream cheese
  • 1 tsp sweetener
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug or ramekin, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sweetener.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in melted butter, pumpkin purée, and egg until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Microwave: Cook on high for 60–90 seconds. Start with 60 seconds and check the center. If not set, continue in 10-second intervals until firm but moist.
  4. Prepare Frosting: In a small bowl, whisk cream cheese, sweetener, almond milk, and cinnamon or pumpkin spice until smooth.
  5. Serve: Spread frosting over the warm loaf and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, fold in a tablespoon of dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts before microwaving. If you prefer a lighter texture, replace butter with coconut oil. Serve with coffee or tea for a quick fall treat.
