Description
A single-serve, high-protein mug cake that tastes like a gooey cinnamon roll but takes just two minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients
- 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, then add maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, flour, and baking powder.
- Stir vigorously 30 seconds until batter is uniform and slightly airy.
- Microwave on high 60–90 seconds until center is set but top is still glossy.
- Rest 30 seconds, drizzle with extra maple syrup, and enjoy.
Notes
Use small-curd cottage cheese for the smoothest texture. Start checking at 60 seconds to avoid overcooking.
