			Brownie Mixture

- Mix Ingredients: In a microwave-safe ramekin or small bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, cocoa powder, almond or oat flour, egg, maple syrup, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until you achieve a smooth and uniform batter.
 
- Optional Topping: Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of the brownie batter for extra melty chocolate goodness after microwaving.
 
- Microwave: Place the ramekin in the microwave and cook on high for 45–60 seconds. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s power, so start checking at 45 seconds to avoid overcooking.
 
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie to cool for about a minute to set slightly. Serve warm with a spoon and enjoy the moist, melty texture of this quick and delicious brownie.
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- Use blended cottage cheese to ensure a smooth batter; you can blend it in a food processor or blender for a few seconds.
 
- Almond flour makes the brownie gluten-free, but oat flour works well if you prefer a milder flavor.
 
- Adjust the sweetness level by using more or less maple syrup or your preferred sweetener.
 
- Microwaves vary widely, so it’s best to monitor the brownie closely to prevent it from overcooking and drying out.
 
- To make it vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg or chia egg, though texture will slightly differ.
