Ingredients
– 1/2 cup cottage cheese
– 1/2 cup finely chopped apple (I love using Granny Smith for a tart kick!)
– 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
– 1 large egg
– 1/4 cup almond flour or whole wheat flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– A pinch of salt
– Optional: a splash of vanilla extract and chopped nuts for garnish
Equipment Needed
– Microwave-safe mug
– Mixing bowl
– Whisk or fork
– Measuring spoons and cups
– Knife and chopping board
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by grabbing your favorite microwave-safe mug. I love using a large one that holds at least 12 ounces. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and chopped apple. It’s fun to see the colors blend together! Stir in the honey or maple syrup – this is where the sweetness starts to build up. Then, crack in the egg and whisk everything together until it’s nice and smooth. If you like, toss in that splash of vanilla extract for an added flavor kick.
