Skinni Cook: Skinni Chocolate Chocolate Cake

Skinni Chocolate Chocolate Cake

Every girl loves chocolate! So what is not to love about this is a delectable double chocolate cake. This recipe does not only taste great, but it contains a lot of terrific ingredients that are great for your overall health! Everything tastes better with chocolate!

Ingredients

1. 1 ½ cup of oats

2. 3 egg whites

3. 1 natural applesauce snack pack (or ½ cup)

4. 1 teaspoon of vanilla

5. ½ cup of fat free plain Greek yogurt

6. ½ teaspoon of cream of tarter

7. 2 teaspoons of baking soda

8. ¼ teaspoon of salt

9. 1 cup of hot water (just from the faucet-doesn’t need to be boiling)

10. 1 ¼ cup of splenda

11. ¼ cup +2 teaspoons of cocoa powder

12. ¼ cup of semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees

2. In a food processor or blender, blend the oats until the oats are a completely ground mixture.

3. In your mixing bowl, add all of your ingredients together. Blend everything together with a hand mixer (or if you are lucky a **Kitchen Aid Mixer) until it is nice and smooth.

4. This recipe will make either 36 mini cakes (heaping tablespoon) or 18 regular sized muffins, so it is up to you and what you have in your kitchen. Whichever size you choose, spray the pans with non-stick spray or line with muffin pans.

5. Cook the muffins for 10-15 minutes. It is probably closer to the 10 minute mark, so keep your eye on it (no one likes burnt chocolate).

6. If you would like add an extra chocolate chip to top the muffin off!

7. Enjoy these gooey chocolate bites!

*Calories for the mini cakes are 30 per cake, or for the regular sized muffins 60 calories! This recipe provides high fiber, low fat, and high protein (so I would say really healthy)!

*If you wanted to up the healthy factor, use dark chocolate (just think of all of the antioxidants).

**I feel like all of my girlfriends have these wonderful Kitchen Aid Mixers, but they NEVER use them. I use mine practically every day, because it is so easy to combine everything in the bowl, then it mixes it for you, and clean up is a breeze. If you do have one, use it, Kitchen Aid Mixers are one of the most fabulous kitchen tools that you can use in the kitchen!!!!!
