Picture this: it’s after dinner and you’re sitting on your sofa snuggled up to your pet, watching your favorite movie, when suddenly you get hit with a MASSIVE dessert craving.
We’ve all been there, right?! You want something sweet, but don’t have anything on-hand. You may have some sort of cookie or dessert mix, but you probably don’t want to wait 45 minutes for it to bake!
For times like these, I have the PERFECT (keto-friendly!) solution for you! This keto pumpkin pie mug cake will totallllllly satisfy your sweet tooth, while allowing you to stay in ketosis!
10 Minute pumpkin pie in a mug
One of the BEST parts about this recipe is that it only takes, at most, TEN minutes to make! No, that isn’t a typo. This yummy treat seriously only requires ten minutes of your time, and that includes the preparation AND cooking time!
Not only is it a low time commitment, but the process is only a few simple steps, making this one of the easiest treats to whip together on a whim! I absolutely love throwing this together when my sweet tooth kicks in.
Low Carb, Keto Pumpkin Pie
What’s better than a nice pumpkin dessert on a brisk autumn evening? It is such a great way to stay cozy, especially if you eat it right after it comes out of the microwave when it is nice and warm… YUM.
I mentioned that this recipe is totally keto-compliant, but it is also perfect for those following a low-carb diet. One serving (which is super simple to measure, as one serving = one mug cake) only contains 5.1 grams of net carbs! How can a dessert be so low in carbs? Well, it is made with Classic Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener, a great, tasty low-carb sugar alternative.

Full of mouth watering ingredients
One of my favorite parts about this recipe is that it contains so many yummy spices that together provide such a rich, decadent flavor. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves are some of the ingredients that add so much extra flavor while refraining from being over powering. It is truly the perfect combination of deliciousness!
Just wait and see! This keto pumpkin pie mug cake is going to be your new go-to! You will absolutely LOVE it!
Keto Pumpkin Pie with Monk Fruit Sweetener
This pumpkin pie mug cake is sweetened with my favorite net-carb-free and keto-friendly sweetener, Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener! I prefer monk fruit sweetener in my desserts as it tastes exactly like traditional sugar without any weird aftertaste like other low-carb sweeteners seem to leave.

Would like to make, but I am dairy free as well. Any recommendations for a substitute for the heavy whipping cream? Thank you. I am from Milwaukee as well!
Hi, Mary! I would altogether skip the whipped cream if you do not eat dairy. 🙂 The mug cake will still taste delicious!
You can use coconut cream (refrigerate the can overnight).
