Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 egg or 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour or oat flour
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (stevia, monk fruit, or honey)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Mash or blend cottage cheese in a microwave-safe mug or bowl until smooth (or leave slightly chunky for texture).
  2. Add egg, cocoa powder, flour, sweetener, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
  3. Stir in optional chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  4. Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, until the top is set but center remains slightly soft. Time may vary by microwave.
  5. Let cool for 1–2 minutes before serving. Optionally top with yogurt or peanut butter.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of instant espresso powder to boost chocolate flavor.
  • Use oat flour for a denser, cake-like texture.
  • Undercook slightly and add chocolate chips for a gooey center.
  • Store extras in the fridge for up to 1 day and reheat for 15–20 seconds.
  • Good cold too for a fudgy texture.
