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!

So delicious! I love a good single-serve recipe. Favorite cookie? I mean, chocolate chip all day…
Oh this looks awesome Liz! I need to get some ramekins in my life ASAP!
If you don’t have a ramekin, you can make it in a mug! 🙂
My mom would love this. She loves this time of year because of all things pumpkin. The rest of us are good with just one day of it.
This is probably what I should do. Make single serving desserts because I have no self control and will just eat yummy desserts until they’re gone. Good thinking!
This actually looks like an awesome idea. Simple, fast, tasty and a great way to use up that pumpkin!!
No overdoing it with a single serve! Might have to whip these up for breakfast for me and my youngest tomorrow!
Oh my, this looks delicious. I wonder how I could make this gluten-free. Maybe oat flour?
I totally understand getting annoyed with the whole pumpkin cliche…. but there’s a reason why everyone loves everything pumpkin! Thanks for sharing a single-serving recipe!
This is perfect! I have close to zero willpower when it comes to portion control, so I love single serving things like this.
