Ingredients  

  • 1/4 cup Full Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 2 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 tbsp Chocolate Chips

Equipment

  • blender or fine mesh sieve
  • microwave

Instructions 

  • Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth, or press it through a fine mesh sieve. This keeps the cake silky instead of grainy.
  • In a large microwave safe mug, whisk together the smooth cottage cheese, egg, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  • Add the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt and whisk until no dry lumps remain.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and microwave for 70-90 seconds, until the cake is just set with a slightly soft center. The cottage cheese keeps it moist and fudgy instead of rubbery.
  • Let it rest for 1 minute, then enjoy warm straight from the mug.
