Make a quick, fudgy, single-serving brownie using cottage cheese for added protein. This recipe cooks in the microwave in under two minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup blended cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour or oat flour
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (e.g., erythritol or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 small egg white
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese in a small blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth.
  2. In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, cocoa powder, flour, sweetener, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Mix well until just combined.
  3. Stir in the egg white until the batter is uniform. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  4. Microwave on high power for 60 to 90 seconds. Cooking time depends on your microwave wattage; start with 60 seconds and add 10-second intervals if needed.
  5. The brownie is done when the edges look set but the center is still slightly soft for a fudgy texture.
  6. Let it cool in the mug for one minute before eating directly from the container.

Notes

  • Blending the cottage cheese is essential; lumps will result in an uneven texture.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • If you prefer a cake-like texture, add a tiny pinch more baking powder.
  • This recipe works best with low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese, not dry curd style.
