Ingredients

Instructions

  • Blend the cottage cheese in a high-speed blender until completely smooth.
    1/4 cup full fat cottage cheese
  • Add the egg, sweetener, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and baking powder to the blender and blend again until fully combined.
    1 medium eggs, 1 tablespoon swerve, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Grease a microwave-safe mug or ramekin with butter or coconut oil.
  • Pour the batter into the mug or ramekin.
  • Spoon the peanut butter into the center of the batter without stirring.
    1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • Microwave on high for 2 minutes or until the cake is set but still gooey in the center. Check after 90 seconds, then continue in 10-second increments if needed.
  • Optional: Flip onto a plate for a lava cake presentation or enjoy straight from the mug.
  • Let it cool for a minute, then dig in!

Notes

  • For an extra molten center, freeze the peanut butter for 15 minutes before adding it to the batter.
  • Microwave time may vary—start with 90 seconds and check for doneness in 10-second increments.
  • Want a stronger chocolate flavor? Add sugar-free chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Oven Method: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes in a ramekin.
  • Air Fryer Method: Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 10-12 minutes.
