  • Total Time: 4 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, egg, coconut flour, maple syrup, and shredded coconut directly into a microwave-safe mug.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the ingredients together until the batter is smooth. For a finer texture, blend the mixture using a small hand blender or whisk.
  3. Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug cake on high for 60 to 90 seconds, or until the cake has set and is cooked through.
  4. Cool and Serve: Let the mug cake cool slightly before eating to allow flavors to develop and to avoid burns.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or a sugar-free sweetener for different sweetness options.
  • Be careful not to overcook in the microwave as the cake may become dry.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for richer flavor and creaminess.
  • Optional toppings such as fresh fruit or a dollop of Greek yogurt can enhance the dessert.
  • Mug size matters: use a standard-sized microwave-safe mug to prevent overflow during cooking.
