Lately, I’ve been craving pumpkin! From Pumpkin Dip to these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, I can’t seem to get enough!

Why I Love This Recipe
Sometimes I get a craving for a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie but I don’t want to tempt myself with a whole batch of cookies. Or maybe I’m just in the mood for something sweet, but I don’t want to preheat the oven. That’s where this recipe comes in! This is a “mug cake” style cookie which means it cooks in the microwave in just a couple of minutes. Plus, this recipe is vegan!
How to Make a Single Serving Cookie
Mix all the ingredients together, then transfer the mixture to a greased, microwave-safe dish. Microwave on 50% power so you can cook the cookie slowly without risking burning the edges. Microwave times vary so keep a close eye on the cookie!
Recipe Tips
- I like using mini chocolate chips, so you get a little bit of chocolate in every bite! But you can use any chips you have on hand.
- To keep this vegan, I used dairy-free chocolate chips. Enjoy Life makes great vegan chips!
- Be sure to spray the ramekin before adding the dough, so your cookie doesn’t stick to the cup!
- If you want to add frosting, try a dollop of this vegan tahini buttercream or whip up this coconut frosting recipe.
The Best Container for a Single Serving Cookie
I like to use a microwave-safe ramekin, which is the perfect size for one of these cookies! But if you don’t have a ramekin, you can use a mug or a small microwave-safe glass dish.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes! But I recommend making the cookies in two separate ramekins, rather than making a larger cookie. This will help the cookies “bake” more evenly. If you want to make a whole batch of cookies, try my vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!
Can this cookie be made in the oven?
Yes! To make this single-serving pumpkin cookie in the oven, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Then bake for 15 minutes or until set. Insert a toothpick in the center and when it comes out clean, it’s ready to enjoy!
