Why You Need Both Almond Flour and Coconut Flour
Organic pumpkin is very moist. I use coconut flour in this recipe to account for that (coconut flour is very drying), but almond flour is still needed as well, in order to prevent the cake from being overly dense.

Delicious. I do not understand why this recipe was better than others. The ingredients look the same. It was soft with a light pumpkin flavor. Tasty for my breakfast on the go.

I'm not sure what that is. This recipe has only been tested with almond flour. You can do google a conversion calculator for whatever you would like to use.

Best mug cake recipe ever-thank you. The pumpkin keeps it moist and the combo of coconut flour and almond flour produce a nice consistency. I reduce the sweetener a tad and add a few drops of lemon oil. Yum.
