Description
A quick, single-serve dessert or breakfast with a tender, custardy crumb and a warm vanilla scent.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (like sugar or a sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and choose a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 12 ounces. If desired, briefly blend the cottage cheese for a smoother texture.
- In the mug, combine the cottage cheese, shredded coconut, coconut flour, sweetener, vanilla extract, baking powder, egg, and salt. Mix well until mostly smooth.
- Microwave the mug on high for 1–2 minutes, starting with 60 seconds. Check for doneness; the cake should be set and spring back when touched.
- Let the mug cake cool for 1–2 minutes before eating. Add toppings as desired.
Notes
For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese before mixing. Use unsweetened coconut to avoid extra sugars. Adjust sweetness when using sugar substitutes.
