Ingredients
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1 egg white
2 tbsp quick oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp baking powder
Splash of milk (optional)
Optional: pinch of salt
Optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tbsp chocolate chips
Instructions
1. In a small bowl or blender, combine cottage cheese, egg white, honey, cinnamon, baking powder, and vanilla if using. Blend or whisk until completely smooth.
2. Stir in quick oats. Add a splash of milk only if the batter is too thick.
3. Grease a microwave-safe mug or ramekin and pour the batter inside.
4. Microwave for 50–90 seconds, depending on your microwave strength, until the cake rises and the top is just set.
5. Let rest for 1 minute before eating. Add toppings such as honey, nut butter, yogurt, or fresh fruit if desired.
Notes
Blend the ingredients for the smoothest, fluffiest texture.
Do not over-microwave—mug cakes cook quickly and dry out easily.
Add 1 tablespoon of protein powder to increase the protein content (add 1–2 tsp milk if needed).
For extra sweetness, mix in a little brown sugar or an extra drizzle of honey.
Best enjoyed warm and fresh, but can be refrigerated up to 24 hours.
