A quick and easy Cottage Cheese Microwave Brownie recipe that combines the richness of cocoa and the creaminess of cottage cheese to create a moist, healthy dessert. Perfect for a speedy chocolate fix made right in your microwave.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Mixture

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): If you like extra richness and chocolate texture, gently fold in the chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly.
  3. Prepare for Microwaving: Grease a microwave-safe mug or small bowl lightly with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the brownie mixture into the greased container, spreading it evenly.
  4. Microwave Cooking: Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 to 1.5 minutes. Check the brownie at 1 minute; it should be set but still moist in the center. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie to cool for about a minute to let it set completely before enjoying. Serve warm as a single-serving dessert or snack.

Notes

  • Microwave wattages vary; start checking at 1 minute to avoid overcooking.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cottage cheese.
  • You can substitute the sugar with a natural sweetener of choice for a healthier version.
  • The brownie is best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated for up to one day; reheat slightly before eating.
  • Optionally top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of peanut butter for extra indulgence.
