Make this high protein, fudgy cottage cheese microwave brownie in under five minutes. This single-serve dessert satisfies chocolate cravings fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the cottage cheese and egg in a microwave-safe mug or small bowl. Blend with an immersion blender or whisk vigorously until completely smooth.
  2. Stir in the cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract until no lumps remain.
  3. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Cooking time varies by microwave wattage; check after 90 seconds. The center should look set but still moist for a fudgy texture.
  5. Let the brownie cool in the mug for one minute before eating.

Notes

  • For a lower-carb or keto friendly microwave dessert, use a zero-calorie sweetener like stevia or monk fruit blend.
  • If you prefer a cake-like texture instead of fudgy, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the dry ingredients.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free because it uses no flour.
