Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Blend the cottage cheese in a high-speed blender until completely smooth.
Add the egg, sweetener, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and baking powder to the blender and blend again until fully combined.
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.
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.
