Paleo Pumpkin Pie Microwave Soufflé

Confession time: I ate three of these Paleo pumpkin pie microwave soufflés in one day. I’d like to say not by choice, but it was totally by choice. With every delicious bite I thought of Chris Farley playing a teenage girl in that classic Saturday Night Live skit, saying, “LAY OFF ME I’M STARVING!”

5 minutes to make, seconds to eat. This Paleo Pumpkin Pie Microwave Soufflé will be your new favorite breakfast

Pin It!

It’s easy to eat one after the other, because this decadent soufflé takes only five minutes to make (and even less to eat). This is by far one of my all-time favorite breakfast treats. If you crave something easy, seasonal, warm, sweet, delicious, AND healthy, I got you covered.

When it comes to food photography, it is imperative that the photos make the food look appetizing. The soufflé is beautiful straight out of the microwave, however, after a few seconds, the top ‘sinks’ into the mug a bit. So you can probably imagine me scrambling like a crazy lady to snap the perfect shot. Attempt one failed (because my mug was boring and ugly). Attempt two also failed (because the soufflé leaned to one side of the mug, and it bugged me).

Food photography is tricky! Third times a charm for this paleo pumpkin pie microwave soufflé

Third time is a charm! After I inhaled the first two, I licked my wounds, tried it one last time, and finally got the shot I needed to convince you to try this thang. Even after burned fingers, spilled maple syrup, and crumbs in the crevasses of my camera, I would still do it all over again, just to devour this ‘lil baby (or three).

Why is this Paleo pumpkin pie microwave mug soufflé a favorite? Simple as pie (oh look, I made a funny!) to make and it’s dairy-free, gluten-free, low-carb, and free of refined sugar.

To start, grab one ripe banana. I have a stash of brown ones in my freezer, you know, for emergencies. Mush the banana in the mug, then add the eggs, pumpkin spice, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree. Mix together and place in the microwave for approximately 2 1/2 – 3 minutes. Cook time will depend on your mug and the power setting of your microwave.

In less than five minutes and minimal prep, you get a delicious pumpkin pie microwave soufflé

DING! Now, simply RUN to your microwave, watch the soufflé of amazingness rise and comfortably settle into your mug, then SNIFF the sweet smell of fall, DIVE IN, and EAT (but be careful not to burn your tongue). I even drizzled more maple syrup aaaaaaall over this just because I felt like it.

  2. You made me laugh by saying you ate 3 of these to get the right picture! Cooking this kind of thing in a microwave can be trick. Nicely done! Looks really yummy too!

  7. You made me laugh over my morning coffee – perfect start to the day. And now I’ll be dreaming all day of this wonderfully simple, yet oh-so-good-looking treat!!! I think your three attempts at getting the perfect picture paid off. I appreciate you taking one for the team and eating the first two, and naturally, you deserved the third as a payment for your efforts. Obviously. I’m saving this nugget for when I’m done with this whole no sugar stint 😉

    • Oh man Kat I can’t wait for you to try this!!! I didn’t feel THAT bad about eating 3 in a day, until I realized I consumed 6 eggs and 3 entire bananas in like one sitting. EEK! Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy 🙂

    • Thanks Sina! I honestly have no idea how this would work without a microwave. So I wish I could help! You’ll have to give it a whirl at your parents’ house for sure! Thanks for stopping by.

  30. This is a genius idea! I have never seen anything like it. I am really excited to try it with my son (he can not eat regular pie).
    I wish I had seen it earlier today – I would have made sure to pick up some pumpkin puree. It would have made a perfect dessert for Canadian Thanksgiving!
    Trying it tomorrow!

  31. Did this twice today. So good. I whipped the egg whites separately and combined. So the recipe served two large mugs instead of one. Thank you.
