Ingredients
Scale
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons almond flour
1 tablespoon sweetener (e.g., erythritol, stevia)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: 1 tablespoon sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine cottage cheese and egg. Mix until smooth.
Add cocoa powder, almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined and no lumps remain.
If using, fold in sugar-free chocolate chips.
Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the brownie is set but still slightly moist in the center. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
Let cool for a minute before enjoying.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a tiny bit of instant coffee granules to the batter.
Ensure your cottage cheese is well-drained if it has a lot of liquid.
