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.

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.
