YUMMMMMMMMM

Skinny Chocolate Muffins  (ONLY 102 CALORIES EACH!!)

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups Chocolate Almond Milk (I used dark chocolate Almond Milk too)
• 2 cups All Bran cereal
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners and spray each liner well with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Place Chocolate Almond Milk in a large bowl. Add bran cereal and let soak for about 2 minutes. Stir in egg and Greek yogurt. Stir in sugar, baking powder, salt and flour. Stir just until combined.

InstructiEvenly distribute between muffin cups. I use an ice cream scoop for this step. You can fill the liners pretty full, they won’t rise too much. Sprinkle the tops with mini chocolate chips.

1. Bake for about 14 minutes, until a toothpick comes out almost (but not totally) clean. Serve warm.
2. Best eaten within 2 days. Freeze the leftovers for a quick breakfast or snack! (I pop mine into the microwave for about 30 seconds straight from the freezer!)
