Ingredients
- 1/2 banana
- 180 g (6 oz) cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp sugar and 2 tbsp flour
- butter, for greasing
- sour cream or strawberry jam, to serve
Instructions
- Mash everything together until smooth.
- For a 13 cm (5-inch) form at 800-900W: microwave 2 minutes, open and rotate the form slightly, then 3 more rounds of 35-40 seconds.
- For a regular mug: 1.5 minutes first, then 2-3 rounds of 20 seconds.
- Serve with sour cream or strawberry jam.
Tips
Mash the banana thoroughly so the batter is completely smooth. Microwave in short bursts rather than one long blast, and let the casserole stand for a minute before serving so it sets up nicely.
