Description

This single-serve brownie feels like a secret treat—rich, gooey, and done in under 2 minutes.

Scale

2 tbsp blended cottage cheese

1 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp almond flour or oat flour

1 egg

1½ tsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice

Pinch of salt


Instructions

In a microwave-safe ramekin or small bowl, mix all ingredients until smooth.

 

Top with extra chocolate chips if desired.

 

Microwave for 45–60 seconds, depending on your microwave strength.

 

Let cool for a minute and dig in with a spoon while it’s warm and melty.
