Make a quick, fudgy, high-protein brownie in minutes using your microwave and cottage cheese. This single-serving recipe is perfect for a fast, healthy chocolate treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese (blended smooth)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine the blended cottage cheese and egg in a microwave-safe mug or small ramekin. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Add the cocoa powder, sweetener, melted oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  3. Stir in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the optional 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 center should look mostly set but still slightly moist for a fudgy texture.
  6. Let the brownie cool in the mug for 2 minutes before eating.

Notes

  • For the smoothest texture, blend your cottage cheese in a small food processor or blender until completely smooth before adding other ingredients.
  • If your microwave is very powerful, use 50% power for 2 minutes instead of full power for 60 seconds to prevent drying out.
  • This recipe is a great low calorie brownie hack for satisfying a chocolate craving.
