Make a quick, fudgy, high protein brownie in minutes using your microwave and cottage cheese. This single serving dessert satisfies your sweet craving fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (blended smooth)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour (or oat flour)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese in a small, microwave-safe mug or ramekin. Use an immersion blender or small food processor to blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
  2. Add the egg, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the mug.
  3. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a fork until you have a smooth batter. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
  5. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Cooking time varies based on microwave wattage; start checking at 60 seconds. The brownie is done when the top looks set but the center is still slightly soft for a fudgy texture.
  6. Let the brownie cool in the mug for 2 minutes before eating directly from the mug.

Notes

  • For the smoothest texture, ensure your cottage cheese is fully blended before adding dry ingredients.
  • If you prefer a cake-like texture, cook for an additional 10-15 seconds.
  • This recipe makes a great healthy late night snack when you need something fast.
