  • Author: Rita
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 mug cake

Description

This cottage cheese banana bread mug cake is high in protein, naturally sweet, and ready in just 5 minutes. A cozy single-serve treat.


Ingredients

½ ripe banana, mashed

2 tablespoons cottage cheese

1 egg or flax egg

1 tablespoon oat flour or almond flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: pinch of cinnamon

Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Optional: drizzle of maple syrup


Instructions

1. Mash the banana in a microwave-safe mug until smooth.

2. Add cottage cheese, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

3. Stir in oat flour and baking powder until fully combined.

4. Fold in cinnamon or chocolate chips if using.

5. Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, until the top is set.

6. Let cool for 1–2 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

Use almond yogurt and a flax egg for a dairy-free version.

Almond flour works great for a gluten-free option.

Chill after cooking and enjoy cold like banana bread pudding.

Prep the batter in advance and microwave later for quick meal prep.
