Print Recipe

This Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake is a quick, protein-packed treat that combines the warm flavors of cinnamon with creamy cottage cheese for a moist, satisfying dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened (for swirl)
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon to the mug and mix well until the batter is combined.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and softened cream cheese to form the cinnamon roll swirl mixture.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture onto the top of the batter in the mug, then use a toothpick or knife to swirl it gently through the batter.
  5. Microwave the mug cake on high for 1½ to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the center.
  6. Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before sprinkling with powdered sugar if desired, then enjoy warm.

Notes

For extra indulgence, serve with a drizzle of honey or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside the warm mug cake.
