- ¼ cup cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (plus extra to taste)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese to a microwave-safe mug and mash until mostly smooth.
- Crack in the egg and whisk vigorously until combined.
