– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 egg (or a flax egg for a vegan option)
– Optional: a splash of vanilla extract

Equipment Needed
– Microwave-safe mug
– Mixing bowl
– Fork or whisk
– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, grab a microwave-safe mug and start by adding your cottage cheese. I like to use a fork to mash it a bit, making it smoother before adding anything else. Next, toss in the flour, honey (or syrup), baking powder, and a nice mix of spices: ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. I usually skip the vanilla for now, but feel free to add that splash if it suits your mood! Stir everything together until it’s well combined and looks like a thick batter. It’s such a warm, inviting color that I can’t resist giving it a little taste! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
