Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup cottage cheese
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp monk fruit chocolate chips (or sweetener of your choice)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug or bowl, whisk together the egg and cottage cheese until smooth.
- Stir in the cocoa powder and monk fruit chocolate chips, mixing until everything is fully combined.
- Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power. Start checking at 1 minute 30 seconds, and continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until the brownie is set but still slightly soft in the middle.
- Let the brownie cool slightly before enjoying! You can top it with some whipped cream, ice cream, or berries if desired.
Notes
- For a vegan version, you can replace the egg with a flax egg and use dairy-free cottage cheese.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more monk fruit chocolate chips or sweetener of your choice.
- If you prefer a fudgier brownie, reduce the cooking time slightly.
- Feel free to mix in some nuts or seeds for added texture.
