- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg

- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- Pinch of Salt

- 7 g Light Flaxseed Oil Butter (melted (Smart Balance))
- ⅔ Pumpkin Spice Mixture
Toppings:
- 9 g Reduced Fat Whipped Topping (Cool Whip)

Instructions
Pumpkin Spice Mixture:
- In a small jar, whisk together your ingredients to get it nice and frothy. I used a milk frother. Set aside.60 ml (0.25 cups) Nonfat Milk, 15 ml (1 tbsp) Brewed Espresso, 5 g (1 tsp) Pumpkin Puree, 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
Pumpkin Cake:
- In a microwave safe ramekin, add in your dry ingredients and mix. Then add in your pumpkin, melted butter, and about 2/3rd of the pumpkin spice mixture.22 g (3 tbsp) All-Purpose Flour, 15 g (1 tbsp) Vanilla Protein Powder, 1/2 tsp Baking Powder, Pinch of Salt, 30 g (2 tbsp) Pumpkin Puree, 7 g (0.5 tbsp) Light Flaxseed Oil Butter, 2/3 Pumpkin Spice Mixture
- Mix together until your thick batter forms. Ensure there are no dry flour pockets. Smooth it out in the ramekin and make it leveled.
- Microwave for 75-90 minutes. Keep an eye on it and use a toothpick to ensure the center isn’t too wet. A little residue left behind is fine. Mine was perfect at 90 seconds.
- Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before flipping it over in a serving plate to release. Give it a few taps and it should slide out.
- Poke the center with holes using a chopstick. Pour in your remaining 1/3 Pumpkin Spice Mixture and let it soak in.
Toppings:
- Then finish it off with your dollop of whipped cream and flaky sea salt.9 g (1 tbsp) Reduced Fat Whipped Topping, Flaky Sea Salt
