RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mug Cake

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons stevia or any sweetener of your choice
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Dark chocolate chips for topping
• 1 piece 70% dark chocolate (optional)

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make Cottage Cheese Mug Cake

1. In a blender, add cottage cheese, vanilla extract, egg, cocoa powder, sweetener, and peanut butter. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug, small baking dish, or ramekin (leave some space for it to rise). Gently press the 70% dark chocolate piece into the center (if using). Top with a few dark chocolate chips.

» Cook in Microwave

1. Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave power. Let it rest for 1-2 minutes before eating. The center should be slightly fudgy and moist. Enjoy it as it is or with toppings of your choice. You can also serve it chilled for a brownie-like texture.

» Bake in Oven

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is set but the center is slightly soft. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm. Top with some whipped cream, peanut butter, coconut cream, or a few fresh berries for extra flavor.

RECIPE NOTES

1. Make sure to use high quality unsweetened cocoa powder for the best chocolatey taste. You can also use melted dark chocolate for the richer flavor.
2. To add more protein or a protein chocolate dessert, add a scoop of chocolate protein powder to the batter.
