Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (such as sugar, honey, or a sugar substitute)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Blend Cottage Cheese: Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a smooth brownie texture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the smooth cottage cheese with cocoa powder, your chosen sweetener, egg, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a uniform batter.
- Prepare for Microwaving: Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug or small dish, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mixture on high for about 1 to 2 minutes or until the brownie is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Cooking times may vary depending on microwave wattage.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie to cool slightly before eating to let it set and make it easier to handle. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness level by varying the amount or type of sweetener used.
- For a fudgier texture, reduce microwave time slightly.
- Add a few chocolate chips or nuts before microwaving for extra texture and flavor.
- Use low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese based on dietary preference.
- Ensure the dish is microwave-safe to avoid accidents.
