Single-Serve Microwave Chocolate Cake Muffin
Do you ever crave sugary foods only when you indulge in sugary foods? For example- if you eat a cookie, you want another, and another? Or- sometimes a bowl of ice cream turns into 1 and a half?
Thatโs meโฆespecially when it comes to high sugar foods! I am a sweet tooth kind of girl and lately Iโve been a little out of control when it comes to not-so-good for your sweets (thanks to meetings at work and restaurants eating).
I tell myself that indulging in MODERATION is okayโฆbut then I over-indulge. Whenever I overindulge I give myself a really hard time and feel a lot of guilt aboutโฆthe workout I just cancelled out or how crappy Iโm going to feel in a few hours.
Enough. How about I just make more homemade desserts that have a LOT less sugar, are made with whole grains, and are portioned properly?

DING! Best idea ever.
I have a feeling this cake muffin (because I couldnโt decide whether I should call it cake or a muffin) is going to be my new dessert best friend!
My original inspiration came from this Clean Eating Chocolate Mug Cake, but I didnโt really follow the recipe at all. The fact that itโs single serve, chocolate, healthier, and microwavable rocks my socksโฆso I made a version of my own.

That is pretty dang awesome for a DESSERT.

So on topโฆI made a little drippy heaven. I mixed peanut butter with unsweetened cocoa powder and melted it to create peanut butter chocolate sauce!

could eat that stuff by the spoonful

So enlighten me. What are your habits with sugary foods?
Are you a single serve lover or hater?
