-
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F).
-
Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, cocoa powder, egg, oat flour, honey, melted coconut oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Prepare the Ramekin: Grease an 8-ounce ramekin with nonstick spray. Pour the batter into the ramekin, filling it about 3/4 full to allow for rising.
-
Bake: Place the ramekin in your preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is set, and the cake rises slightly above the rim.
-
Cool & Invert: Once baked, carefully remove the ramekin from the oven and let it cool for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a plate to release your cake.
-
Serve Warm: This cake is best enjoyed while still warm. If you like, you can garnish with powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey, and serve it with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
