Make a rich, fudgy, single-serve chocolate brownie in under two minutes using your microwave. This recipe uses cottage cheese for a high-protein, low-carb, gluten-free treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese (blended smooth)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese in a microwave-safe mug or small ramekin. Blend it with an immersion blender or whisk vigorously until completely smooth.
  2. Add the egg, cocoa powder, sweetener, melted oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to the smooth cottage cheese. Mix well until you have a uniform batter.
  3. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
  4. Microwave on high for 70 to 100 seconds. Cooking time varies by microwave wattage; start checking at 70 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. This recipe is great for those interested in quick options similar to what you might find with keto meal plan delivery services, but made instantly at home.

Notes

  • For the smoothest texture, ensure your cottage cheese is fully blended before adding dry ingredients.
  • If you prefer a cake-like texture, cook for a few seconds longer. For a gooey center, err on the side of undercooking.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and fits well within many weight loss programs due to its high protein content.
