Throughout the years I’ve been low carbing I’ve never really been a fan of Muffins in a Minute (MIMs). The low carb MIMs I have tried in the past were usually spongy and never really appealed to me. Well, the desire to have a quick breakfast (or dessert) muffin forced me to create a MIM recipe that I could enjoy. After one bite of my low carb Chocolate Muffin in a Minute I was instantly transported back to the days when I would enjoy a huge double chocolate muffin slathered in butter. It was a perfect replacement! For me this recipe made two HUGE muffins. I ended up eating half of one muffin smeared with ghee for breakfast and I saved the other half for dessert. 🙂 So, in just a little over a minute you can have at least two servings of a warm chocolate muffin for breakfast (or dessert). The second muffin can be enjoyed the next day (it just needs to be warmed up) or maybe you will be nice enough to share with others. 🙂
Enjoy!
