Ingredients
For the Mug Cake:
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1 egg
2 tbsp almond flour (or oat flour)
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
For the Cinnamon Swirl (Optional but delicious):
1 tsp maple syrup + 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Optional Topping:
1 tbsp Greek yogurt or cream cheese + a little sweetener for a quick “frosting”
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a small bowl or blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg, almond flour (or oat flour), maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Blend or whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Step 2: Transfer to Mug
Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug or small bowl.
Pour the batter into the mug.
If making the cinnamon swirl, stir together the maple syrup and cinnamon, then drizzle or gently swirl it into the top of the batter.
Step 3: Microwave
Microwave on high for 1–1½ minutes, until the center is set but still moist.
Allow it to cool for 1–2 minutes before adding any topping.
Step 4: Add Frosting (Optional)
Top with a spoonful of Greek yogurt or lightly sweetened cream cheese for that classic cinnamon roll finish.
Grab a spoon and enjoy!
