I made this one night as a quick-fix dinner after craving chocolate pancakes, or ANYTHING chocolatey all day. To my surprise, it turned out to be quite delicious and something I will definitely be making regularly. And, as a bonus, it is packed with protein- about 28 grams altogether- so it's great for your body. This was quite satisfying after a long day of work, a 2-hr gym workout, and a killer chocolate craving that lasted all day. All the chocolatey goodness comes from rich cocoa powder, and sugar-free/light hot chocolate. **Topped with PB2 this is to-die-for! A chocolate/PB-lovers treat without the guilt! Enjoy :-) Ingredients:
1 cup egg white |
2 tablespoons cocoa powder |
2 tablespoons no-sugar-added hot chocolate mix |
2 g artificial sweetener |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1 1/2 tablespoons flour or 1 1/2 tablespoons chocolate cake mix |
2 tablespoons sugar-free jam or 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter |
Directions:
1. Whisk together all ingredients until you obtain a uniform consistency, and no lumps remain.
2. Pour into pasta bowl, or curved plate so that the mix is relatively the same depth throught (deepest part of the mix should be no more than 1 inch thick to ensure it cooks evenly).
3. Microwaves vary, but I nuked my omelette at 50% power for 6-7 minutes and it came out evenly cooked and smelling delicious. I tested it by touching the middle part and making sure it felt a little firm to the touch (no liquid mix remained underneath the cooked portion).
4. Top with Jam or Jelly, or PB2. Whatever you like.
5. Indulge and enjoy!
