Make a quick, fudgy, high-protein brownie in minutes using cottage cheese and your microwave. This is the fastest healthy brownie recipe you will try.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese (full fat or 2%)
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 small square (about 1/2 ounce) dark chocolate, chopped (optional, for extra fudginess)

Instructions

  1. Combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, almond flour, sweetener, vanilla extract, and baking powder in a microwave-safe mug or small ramekin.
  2. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the batter is smooth. Use a fork to break down any large cottage cheese curds.
  3. If using, stir in the chopped dark chocolate.
  4. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Start checking at 60 seconds. The brownie is done when the edges look set but the center is still slightly soft and fudgy.
  5. Let the brownie cool in the mug for 2 minutes before eating. This helps the texture set.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a high-quality cocoa powder.
  • If your microwave is very powerful (over 1000 watts), start with 50 seconds to prevent overcooking.
  • This recipe is a great low carb mug cake base; add a few drops of stevia if you prefer it sweeter.
