Ingredients
Instructions
1. Add the cottage cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and vanilla extract to a microwave-safe mug or small bowl and stir until well combined.
2. Add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
3. Microwave on High for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave.
4. Check the center with a toothpick. If needed, microwave in 10-second intervals until fully cooked.
5. Let the mug cake cool for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.
6. Top with extra lemon zest, fresh berries, or Greek yogurt if desired.
Notes
Blend the cottage cheese first for an extra smooth texture.
Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor.
Do not overcook the mug cake.
Honey may be replaced with maple syrup or a sugar-free sweetener.
Serve warm for the best texture.
