Ingredients
1/2 cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
1 tablespoon coconut flour
1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon maple syrup or your preferred sweetener
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
Place the cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and sweetener into a small blender and blitz for 20 seconds until completely smooth.
Pour the mixture into a microwave-safe mug.
Stir in the coconut flour, shredded coconut, and baking powder until well incorporated, ensuring no dry pockets remain.
Microwave on high for 90 seconds until the center looks firm but moist.
Let the cake sit for 1 minute to finish setting before eating.
Notes
Always blend your cottage cheese if you prefer a traditional cake-like crumb. If you don’t mind a slightly textured bite, you can skip the blender and mash it well with a fork. While best served fresh, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
