Low-Carb Muffin: Death by Chocolate

Hold on to your hats my low-carb chocolate-loving friends, I have a doozy of a low-carb muffin recipe for you today. When you’re on any diet, you often feel as though you’re missing out on having your chocolate fix.

Sure, I’m all for the Atkins Endulge treats, but sometimes, we need something a little different.

Well, folks, I have a really easy, super quick, delicious, mouth-watering dessert that those who actually eat carbs will be jealous of. Sure, you can give them a bite, but you can also do what I do; tell them it’s diet food, and enjoy it all to yourself.

Ingredients

• 1 oz. cream cheese - Philadelphia cream cheese in the brick is the easiest to measure.
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tsp xylitol sweetener
• 1 pack Stevia
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp whey protein, vanilla ****
• 2 tsp Perfect Keto Chocolate Seasalt
• 1/4 tsp double-acting baking powder
• pinch of salt
• Mint leaf - optional

Instructions

1. Place cream cheese in a microwave-safe mug. Heat for 15 seconds, or until the cream cheese is warm; not melted, but warm.
2. Whisk in the egg and oil to the cream cheese.
3. In a bowl mix all the remaining dry ingredients.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture in the cup and stir to mix well.
5. Heat the mug in the microwave for 10-20 seconds - give or take a few seconds, since all microwaves work differently.
6. Use a butter knife to release it from the mug, by running it around the muffin, or do what I do, put a sprig of mint on it, and eat it right from the mug.
