In a microwave-safe mug, combine cottage cheese, almond flour, maple syrup, cinnamon, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
If using, stir in chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
Microwave the mug for about 1-2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle.
Let cool for a minute before enjoying directly from the mug or transferring to a plate.
