So . . . I was at a loss for today’s topic and decided it was time to hit my “test” kitchen.   A couple of weeks ago I was watching Rachael show and Sunny Anderson was making Micro Mug Desserts! Of course I thought of a way to make this “daily dietitian”-style.   Here she is . . .Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake!

This is just waay to cool, I surprised myself!  I was little leery as I put this mixture into the microwave but look, it actually turned out!  AND this was so stinkin’ easy with ONLY three, yes, THREE ingredients!

First, spray a coffee mug with non-stick cooking spray.

Beat one egg and add one scoop of chocolate peanut protein powder.  Remember this protein powder from the  Chocolate Peanut Bar Smile!

Microwave for 2 minutes. All done and flip on a plate.

I will warn you, if you stop the microwave in between the baking/cooking (not sure what call it in a microwave) and start it again, it does not  come out very good.  Let it bake for 2 minutes. Drizzle with a teeny tiny bit of chocolate syrup and enjoy!

Try sprinkling some cacoa nibs  for a nutritional boost!  Cacoa nibs come from raw cacao, the starter ingredient for all chocolate!  These little bits are loaded with antioxidants and a super-rich source of magnesium.  Magnesium is essential in keeping cortisol levels (key for proper metabolism) maintained and aiding in digestion.  Since cacoa nibs are are similar to 85-100% cocoa, they are bitter in taste, but if you like dark chocolate, a little sprinkle gives a nice little crunch. You can also buy these nibs sweetened at a health food store.  I found some in bulk, woohoo!
