Fall is here- and what is better on a cool, autumn day than pumpkin and chocolate? Today I am going to share a super easy recipe to satisfy those dessert cravings while keeping it healthy. This pumpkin mug cake is a great way to indulge your sweet tooth while still sneaking in some extra protein! It combines all of your favorite fall flavors like pumpkin, chocolate, cinnamon, and maple as well as protein and collagen from Ancient Nutrition!
I love that this is a single serving dessert- because let’s be real, if you made any more you would be tempted to eat it all! It is super easy to make and only takes 60 seconds in the microwave! A great way to curb those PSL cravings after a long day.
