Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.75 cup cottage cheese, 2% reduced-fat small-curd
- 1 piece egg large
- 2 tbsp milk 2% reduced-fat
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup oat flour
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder natural or Dutch-process
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.13 tsp fine salt
- 0.25 tsp espresso powder optional, boosts chocolate flavor
- 0.25 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 tsp neutral oil for greasing the dish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Lightly grease a microwave-safe 6-inch dish or 2 large mugs with the neutral oil.
- In a blender or using an immersion blender, blend cottage cheese, milk, egg, and vanilla until completely smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder (if using).
- Pour the blended wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scrape batter into the prepared dish or divide between mugs. Smooth the top and gently tap to release air bubbles.
- Microwave on High for 2.5 to 3 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is just slightly glossy. If your microwave lacks a turntable, pause halfway to rotate the dish.
- Let stand for 2 minutes to finish setting. Enjoy warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla yogurt or a drizzle of peanut butter.
Notes
Microwaves vary—start checking at 2 minutes to avoid overcooking. For a sweeter brownie, add an extra 0.06 cup sugar (1 tbsp). For gluten-free, ensure your oat flour is certified gluten-free. Stir in nuts or swirl 1 tsp peanut butter on top before cooking for a marbled finish.
