For Girls Who Love Chocolate, Want to Eat Healthy but Live in the Fast Lane


Espresso Cake in a Mug
(You can use ramekins)

Hungry Girl Recipe from here


1 tsp instant coffee granules

1 tsp mini semi sweet chocolate chips

3 tbs chocolate cake mix (my fave is Betty Crocker triple chocolate)

1 tbs fat-free sour cream

1 tbs liquid egg substitute

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1/8 tsp baking powder

1 no cal sweetener packet (I use stevia)

dash of salt

Place coffee and chips in microwave safe mug sprayed with non stick spray. Add other ingredients. Mix well. Microwave for 1 minute 45 seconds (that's too long in my microwave...I usually go for a minute and 20 seconds) Cool slightly and enjoy! 147 calories as per HG.

To change it up a bit you might try ~ fresh fruit and a dollop of light cool whip on top.
