Make a quick, fudgy, high-protein chocolate treat in minutes using cottage cheese in the microwave. This single-serving brownie hack is perfect for a fast, guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese (blended smooth)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the blended cottage cheese, egg, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and baking powder in a microwave-safe mug or small ramekin. Mix well until completely smooth.
  2. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
  3. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Cooking time varies based on microwave wattage; start checking at 60 seconds.
  4. The brownie is done when the top looks mostly set but the center is still slightly soft for a fudgy texture.
  5. Let the brownie cool in the mug for 2 minutes before eating.

Notes

  • For the smoothest texture, blend the cottage cheese in a small blender or food processor until completely smooth before mixing with other ingredients.
  • If you prefer a cake-like texture, add 1/2 teaspoon of flour or oat flour to the mix.
  • This recipe is a great low-calorie brownie hack for satisfying a chocolate craving quickly.
