A quick and delicious mug cake that combines the flavors of a cinnamon roll with the ease of a microwave dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 0.25 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp almond flour (or oat flour)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (for the gooey center)
  • 0.25 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt (or cream cheese)
  • Sweetener to taste (e.g. maple syrup)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine the cottage cheese, egg, almond flour, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the batter is smooth.
  2. In a separate small bowl, stir together 1 teaspoon of maple syrup and 0.25 teaspoon of cinnamon to make the gooey filling.
  3. Carefully dollop this mixture into the center of your prepared batter.
  4. Gently swirl the filling into the batter using a knife or toothpick—this step is crucial for that gooey surprise in every bite!
  5. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds. You’ll know it’s ready when the cake is set and slightly puffed up.
  6. For a delightful topping, mix together Greek yogurt (or cream cheese) with your choice of sweetener. Spoon this over your warm mug cake before digging in.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh; can store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
