In the mood for CHOCOLATE

Yesterday I was in the mood for something chocolaty and sweet so I took my microwave cake batter and made mini muffins out of them in the oven. Heavenly. Takes just a few minutes longer but the little crispy edge is to die for. Perfect for you know that particular time of the month when only chocolate will satisfy you. Make these.

Perfect little grab and go breakfast (toss a couple in a snack sized Ziploc) maybe pair it with my Chocolate Covered Cherry Protein Shake. I love to take a couple out with me when I'm going to coffee with pals. Since Starbucks has NOTHING for us in their bakery case when everyone is indulging I can breakout my healthier delicious treat (but better bring extras to share, non-ops love them too)

Shelly's Chocolate Protein Mini Muffins

1 Egg, beaten
3 Tablespoons Milk
2 Tablespoons Sugar Free Vanilla Torani Syrup
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
3 Tablespoons Multigrain Pancake Mix (I use this)
2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa (Hershey's is what I used, baking aisle)
1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder
Pinch salt

Mix egg, milk, syrup and oil (applesauce or cottage cheese can sub for oil but 1 T divided between 12 muffins is really not a lot) and combine thoroughly. In a separate bowl, mix pancake mix, cocoa, protein powder and salt. Tip dry into wet and stir till combined.

Pour into a non stick mini muffin pan that has been sprayed with Pam.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Makes 12 moist, delicious, mini muffins.

Other Eggface cake batter flavors that can be used.
