Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips optional

Method
 

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.
  2. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for added richness.
  3. Pour the mixture into a greased microwave-safe mug or small bowl.
  4. Microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes, checking for doneness. The brownie should be set but still moist in the center.
  5. Let it cool for a minute before enjoying.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the cottage cheese with Greek yogurt.
  • Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter to the mixture for a nutty twist.
