Remember that Peanut Butter Microwave Cake (with a delicious Peanut Butter Frosting) from wayyy back last April? Well, that recipe just got even better because now chocolate is in the picture!
This Single-Serving Chocolate Peanut Butter Microwave Cake is packed full of chocolate and peanut butter flavor, but without all the sugar, butter and oil you might expect from such a tasty dessert breakfast.
You’d never know this super easy five-minute cake is actually good for you 😉
^^ See how fluffy it is?
This Healthy Single-Serving Chocolate Peanut Butter Microwave Cake is sugar free, gluten free, high fiber, high protein, eggless and vegan. Now I’ve gotta admit, that doesn’t sound super appetizing, as it sounds more like the words you’d use to describe a stick of celery, but trust me, this cake is 100% delicious, mouthwatering and addictive.
Chocolatey, peanut buttery, sweet, moist and filling — that certainly sounds like a decadent cake rather than something nutritious, right? Well this breakfast cake has the best of both worlds… it’s a dessert with health benefits! Just like the name of this blog. It’s where decadence and health become one!
