Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients: cottage cheese, cocoa powder, flour, honey, vegetable oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, egg, milk, and chocolate chips.
  2. Prepare Cottage Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, add 1/2 cup of cottage cheese.
  3. Mash Cottage Cheese: Using a fork or spoon, mash the cottage cheese slightly to smooth it out.
  4. Add Cocoa Powder: Add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the mashed cottage cheese and stir it together until well combined.
  5. Incorporate Flour: Add 1/4 cup of flour to the bowl and mix it with the cocoa mixture thoroughly.
  6. Add Honey: Pour in 2 tablespoons of honey and stir it into the mixture until it is evenly distributed.
  7. Mix in Oil: Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the mixture and mix thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients.
  8. Add Baking Powder and Vanilla: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the bowl and stir again to incorporate.
  9. Add Egg: Crack 1 large egg into the bowl, and beat it into the batter until fully incorporated, creating a smooth batter.
  10. Add Milk: Pour in 1/4 cup of milk and stir until the batter becomes smooth and well combined.
  11. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Add 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to the batter and gently fold them in, ensuring even distribution.
  12. Microwave Cooking: Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes.
  13. Check Doneness: After the first minute, check the brownie for doneness by inserting a toothpick or fork into the center.
  14. Continue Cooking if Needed: If the toothpick comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the brownie is ready. If not, continue microwaving in additional 20-30 second intervals until fully set.
  15. Cool: Let the brownie cool for a few minutes to set before serving.
  16. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious, quick, and moist microwave brownie!

Notes

  • You can adjust the cooking time based on your microwave’s wattage to avoid overcooking or undercooking.
  • If you prefer a less sweet brownie, reduce the honey slightly.
  • Substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a different flavor profile.
  • Use gluten-free flour if you want a gluten-free version.
  • Letting the brownie cool a bit helps improve texture and makes it easier to slice or scoop.
