Searing the Beef

Substitutions: You can use any granulated sweetener (like coconut sugar) in place of the granulated sugar. For a nondairy option, any plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat) works beautifully in this recipe.

Nut Free Option: Since this recipe relies on nut flour, a good substitution is to use 3 Tbsp coconut flour and omit the almond flour entirely. You may need to add a touch more liquid if the batter seems too thick.

Anthology Adjustment: A pinch of salt (not listed in ingredients but baked into the recipe) was included to deepen the cozy, spiced flavor of the pumpkin, which makes the whole thing feel richer.

Serving Suggestions: This muffin is divine served warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of nondairy whipped cream, or a light dusting of extra pumpkin pie spice.

Storage: This mug muffin is best eaten immediately, straight from the microwave. Leftov

Combine dry ingredients. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and sugar.

2

Add wet ingredients. In a separate small bowl, gently beat the egg, then whisk in the pumpkin puree and milk of choice until smoothly combined. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms.

3

Fold and pour. Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chopped pecans if using. Lightly grease a small, microwave safe mug or bowl (or two small ramekins, if dividing the batter). Pour the batter into the prepared container.

Microwave and check. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Be sure to check for doneness after 2 minutes, as the cooking time will vary greatly depending on your microwave’s power. The muffin is ready when it is firm to the touch and pulls slightly away from the edges.

½ tsp baking powder

1 Tbsp granulated sugar

¼ cup (80 g) pure pumpkin puree

On those crisp autumn mornings when the air holds a hint of woodsmoke and the leaves are beginning their descent, sometimes all you need is a moment of cozy indulgence. This little mug muffin is that moment, a pocket-sized piece of comfort that whispers of Thanksgiving pie and warm sweaters. It’s perfect for one, requiring minimal fuss and just a handful of pantry staples. It transforms in the microwave from simple ingredients into a warm, spiced crumb that makes the kitchen smell like pure fall magic. Pour a cup of tea and savor this personal treat as the season settles in.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
