Make a quick, high protein brownie in minutes using cottage cheese in the microwave. This is a fast, guilt free dessert for one.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese (blended smooth)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 small square dark chocolate (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese in a small blender or use an immersion blender to process it until completely smooth. This step is key for texture.
  2. In a microwave-safe mug or small ramekin, combine the blended cottage cheese, egg, cocoa powder, almond flour, sweetener, vanilla extract, and baking powder.
  3. Mix well with a fork until the batter is uniform and no lumps remain. Scrape down the sides.
  4. If using, place the small square of dark chocolate on top of the batter.
  5. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Start with 60 seconds and check for doneness. The brownie is done when the edges look set but the center is still slightly soft.
  6. Let the brownie cool in the mug for 2 minutes before eating. This helps the texture firm up.

Notes

  • For the smoothest texture, ensure your cottage cheese is fully blended before adding dry ingredients.
  • Microwave times vary based on wattage; watch closely after 60 seconds to prevent the brownie from becoming rubbery.
  • You can substitute the sweetener with zero-calorie options if you are aiming for a low sugar microwave treat.
  • This recipe makes a single serving brownie, perfect for an easy protein snack.
