Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Place the egg in a small bowl or jug, lightly beat it, and then add the pumpkin puree, olive oil, maple syrup, pumpkin spice mix, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix well.
Add psyllium, baking powder, and pumpkin protein. Stir until there are no lumps.
In a ramekin or mug greased with coconut oil, pour half of the mixture, add some chocolate chips, and then cover it with the rest of the batter.
Sprinkle more chocolate chips on top, and feel free to get creative with your favorite toppings if you want to add more texture (and nutrients!).
Put your ramekin in the air fryer and cook at 400°F for two minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F and cook for 15 to 18 minutes.
Enjoy this incredibly nourishing and delicious breakfast or dessert!
