Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sweetener (like sugar or erythritol)
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large, microwave-safe mug, whisk the cottage cheese and egg until smooth.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, sweetener, almond flour, vanilla, and baking powder until a smooth batter forms.
- Fold in 1 tablespoon of the chocolate chips.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Microwave on high for 70-80 seconds. The edges should be firm, but the center should still look moist and fudgy.

Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug for best results.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less sweetener.
