Make this single-serve, fudgy cottage cheese microwave brownie in under two minutes. It is a quick, high-protein, guilt-free chocolate fix perfect for busy schedules.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese (blended smooth)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese in a microwave-safe mug. Use a fork or small whisk to blend the cottage cheese until it is completely smooth, removing any lumps.
  2. Add the egg, cocoa powder, sweetener, melted oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Mix well until you have a uniform batter.
  3. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
  4. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Cooking time varies by microwave power; start checking at 60 seconds. The brownie should look set but still slightly moist in the center for a fudgy texture.
  5. Let the brownie cool in the mug for one minute before eating directly from the mug.

Notes

  • For the smoothest texture, blend the cottage cheese separately in a small blender or food processor before adding other ingredients.
  • If you prefer a firmer brownie, cook for an additional 10-15 seconds.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free.
