Ingredients
½ cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
1 large egg
3 tablespoons oat flour or all-purpose flour
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
¼ cup apple, finely diced (peeled or unpeeled)
Optional: pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1: Blend the Base
Add cottage cheese and egg to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy with no visible curds.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
Pour the blended mixture into a microwave-safe mug. Add flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and any optional flavorings. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
Step 3: Add the Apples
Fold in the finely diced apples, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Step 4: Microwave the Cake
Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, depending on your microwave’s power. The cake should rise, look set on top, and be slightly moist in the center.
