Microwave Pumpkin Pie in a Cup is popular during the fall and holiday season when pumpkins are in season. This was inspired by my Crustless Pumpkin Pie on this site. I created it because sometimes you just don't want to make a whole pie, nor do you want the calories of a regular pumpkin pie in a mug (this is only 6 ww points) and it's a quick and easy way to get your pumpkin spice fix. It's also Ideal for using up a little bit of leftover pumpkin puree (it only uses ½ a cup).

🥘Ingredient Notes

You will need the following ingredients for this Pumpkin Mug Pie recipe:

• Pumpkin purée. Pumpkin purée is the star of the show! *Do NOT use pumpkin pie filling *You can use canned pumpkin purée or make homemade pumpkin puree.
• Egg. Egg is the binder in this microwave mug pie - it holds it together.
• Fat-free evaporated milk. Evaporated milk is used in pie because it yields a lighter, airier result. Evaporated milk isn't sweetened either, so you can control the sugar/sweetener in the recipe.
• Brown sugar. Brown sugar is the main sweetener and gives this mug pie that classic pumpkin pie taste.
• Pumpkin pie spice. This is a great way of getting all your pumpkin pie spices in one and gives this pumpkin pie in a cup that iconic pumpkin pie flavor!
• Maple syrup. I use maple syrup in my prize pumpkin pie and my crustless pumpkin pie for a superior depth of flavor (I use light).
• Vanilla extract. Addsflavor!

🔪How to make Crustless Mug Pumpkin Pie

Prep: Spray an 8-14 oz mug with non-stick cooking spray

Add all ingredients to microwave-safe mug.

Mix well with a fork or whisk.

Microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 3 minutes. (based on 1200 watt microwave)

Let it stand for at least 5 minutes. If you dig your spoon into the bottom of the mug, pull some pie out and it's still wet or runny, pop it back into the microwave for 15 second intervals until it's done (max 3 mins).

*The top should be cracked and the texture should look like cooked pumpkin pie.

Let cool for at least 5 minutes, then top with light whipped cream or whipped topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, if desired.

Serve it warm or cold (I prefer it cold).

HINT: You can speed up the cooling process by popping it in the freezer!

🌡️Storing pumpkin pie in a mug

Store leftovers right in the mug in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days. If you are just storing overnight, simply cover the mug with plastic wrap.

👪 Serving Size

This simple recipe makes 1 serving. However, it is a pretty big serving. You could share it with someone else. Or you can double or triple the recipe by clicking on the serving number and selecting the number of servings you'd like. The ingredient quantities will automatically adjust.

🔢WW Points

This easy recipe is Weight Watchers friendly @ 6 WWs points, whereas a typical homemade or store-bought slice of traditional pumpkin pie is 14 ww points. Pumpkin pie cravings can be strong and you don't want to blow the bank on 1 slice, or have to make a whole impossible pumpkin pie, so this is a great way to satisfy that craving! You get the taste of pumpkin pie, minus the points of classic pumpkin pie, and all without the fuss of actually baking one!

You could replace the sugar with monk fruit sweetener to bring down the points in this microwave pumpkin pie in a mug. And if you don't mind using artificial sweeteners, you could use sugar-free syrup and a sugar replacement for the brown sugar.
