Coconut Cottage Cheese Mug Cake 🥥☕ – Quick, Moist & High-Protein Treat

Made this for a late-night snack and it seriously tastes like a mini tropical dessert 🍰 Ready in minutes and so satisfying!

🔸Ingredients

½ cup cottage cheese

¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

2 tablespoons almond flour

1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce for moisture

½ teaspoon baking powder

A pinch of salt

Optional: a little cinnamon or cardamom

🔸Instructions

Blend the cottage cheese until smooth.

Mix with the coconut, almond flour, applesauce, baking powder, and salt.

Spoon into a microwave-safe mug, leaving room for it to rise.

Microwave for approximately 90–120 seconds, checking for doneness. Cooking time varies by microwave.

Let it rest for 1–2 minutes before eating.☺️😘

💡My tip: Choose unsweetened coconut and plain cottage cheese. The cake will have natural dairy sweetness without maple syrup or added sugar.

This version is egg-free and contains no wheat flour. Almond flour is still a type of flour, though, so if you want to avoid all flour, you can replace it with extra finely shredded coconut.
