Apple Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Mug Cake
Ingredients
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp oat flour (or quick oats blended)
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2–3 tbsp finely chopped apple (peeled if you want it extra soft)
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend for smoothness
Blend cottage cheese, egg, oat flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
(No blender? Mash cottage cheese really well—texture will be slightly rustic.) - Fold in apples
Stir in chopped apple and nutmeg if using. - Microwave
Pour into a greased microwave-safe mug.
Microwave 90–120 seconds, checking at 90.
Center should be just set (it firms up as it cools). - Rest & enjoy
Let sit 1 minute before digging in.
Optional Toppings (Highly Encouraged 😌)
- Spoon of Greek yogurt
- Drizzle of honey or maple syrup
- Chopped walnuts or pecans
- Extra cinnamon
Tips & Variations
- Extra protein: Add 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- Lower carb: Use almond flour instead of oat flour
- Dessert vibe: Add a few white chocolate chips
- Oven option: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for ~15 minutes in a ramekin
Warm, comforting, and secretly nutritious—breakfast or dessert, no rules here 💛
