I’m sorry, but I’m sharing another mug cake recipe. They’re just too good not to! If you still haven’t tried one…I really don’t know what you’re waiting for! This one is perfect for the “pumpkin everything”  season, although I see myself still making this year-round! I’ve been playing around with adding cornmeal to all my mug cakes recently and I just love it! The texture and taste are delicious and…corny! I saw some blue cornmeal at Whole Foods the other day and I think I may need to buy some too…you all know I like fun colors!

Mug cakes are so easy to make and when you think of cornbread, you usually think of a big loaf or skillet. What if you just one a small “slice” for yourself in the blink-of-an-eye? The best idea for a single college girl! Gluten-free, vegan, sugar-free, and so yummy! I always eat my mug cakes for breakfast, but this would be a fabulous snack or dessert if you top it with some vegan ice cream or maybe some fluff!

Healthy pumpkin cornbread goodness! If you’ve even once been on the internet these last few weeks, you know the pumpkin recipes are not going to be stopping anytime soon! They won’t stop here either. I still have a bunch to share! Slowly though, I won’t overwhelm you. But when something is good (and ’tis the season), how can you  NOT share!

So tell me:

+ Sweet or savory cornbread? With or without actual corn kernels? I actually never liked cornbread growing up. Now that I cook and bake myself and can make it the right way, I love it! And I think it’s best slightly sweet without real kernels!

+ Do you like pumpkin? According to the media, I think it may be un-American not too 😛

    This is absolutely perfect for me. I love pumpkin, but my husband doesn’t. Now I can whip up a mug cake for myself and not have to share it with anyone! Especially those days when you just need a little treat. This would be the perfect breakfast or afternoon snack. Thank you so much!

    I’ve never made a mug cake, we threw our microwave out a few years ago. This looks delicious and lovely to see it’s sugar and gluten free and vanilla adds its own special sweetness, yummy!

    Mug cakes had a bit of a phase here in the UK a few years ago but I only ever tried it once with a chocolate one! Will have to give this a whirl! Thanks for sharing 🙂

    I have a fave choc mug cake but this sounds immense! If we have the ingredients in the uk I will try and do it and being gluten free is a total bonus! Thank you!

    Pumpkin cornbread cake is a mixture I would not have ever thought to try. Hearing about it, and seeing it, makes me want to make it next time I get to the store. It certainly looks delicious sitting there in that small bowl. I really like the color that the pumpkin gives this cake.

      Pumpkin cornbread really isn’t that strange and the pumpkin only intensifies the cornmeal yellow…

    Yay! More ways for me to sneak vegetables into my son’s diet with stuff he already loves. Or is pumpkin a fruit? Eh, doesn’t matter really. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday!

      If it has seeds it’s a fruit! But really we catogarize it separately as a squash so more like a low carb starch! But non the less, ultra healthy a nutrient dense!

    My kids would FLIP for this! Thanks for the recipe. I have not tried a mug cake but I think I will in the near future now. It looks like it fixes up really quick too. Gotta love cake that cooks in under five minutes.

    Never to many mugcakes! I just tried my first mugcake a couple of days ago (I know its pathetic), and I love new flavor ideas, especially if they involve pumpkin 🙂
