- What is a mug cake? A mug cake is a single-serving cake that is made in a microwave-safe mug and cooked in the microwave.

It is also low in net carbs, which are the total carbs minus the fiber. According to one of the web search results from my predefined tool, one cup of cooked pumpkin contains about 12 grams of total carbs and 3 grams of fiber, which means it has 9 grams of net carbs. This makes pumpkin a keto-friendly vegetable that you can enjoy in moderation on a keto diet. However, you should avoid canned or processed pumpkin products that may contain added sugar or preservatives. Read more HERE!
- What are the health benefits of pumpkin? Pumpkin has many health benefits, such as improving your vision, boosting your immune system, protecting your skin, lowering your blood pressure, and regulating your blood sugar. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, which is essential for your eye health and vision. It also contains vitamin C, which is important for your immune system and wound healing.

- Can I use canned or store-bought pumpkin puree or pumpkin spice mousse?

- Can I use almond milk instead of coconut oil?
