Mock Diet Cream Cheese Brownie

1 Egg (Whole)

2 Splenda

2 Teaspoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

2 oz Cream Cheese

Microwave cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl for 15 seconds to soften. Stir well to take out any air pockets and reduce clumps. Add the other ingredients and mix well. It is ok if you see small dots of cream cheese scattered throughout.

Microwave for 45-55 seconds depending on bowl used and power of microwave. If this does not result in a consistency you like, increase or decrese cooking time next time by 10 seconds each until desired consistency is achieved and note it for next time it is made.

NOTES:

Longer time will result in a dryer / fluffy consistency and shorter times will result in a moister / gooey "thick pudding like" consistency. Consistency will also vary depending on the bowl you use. Experiment with different bowls and times until you find what suits you.

This can also be made with cinnamon instead of cocoa powder for a cinnamon bun flavor.

Approx carbs = 4
Approx protein = 10-12 g depending on cocoa powder and cream cheese used.

I used to make these when I was doing the Atkins diet.  I won't be able to eat them right away but I will be making them in the future if allowed to have them.  I used to be able to find a blueberry flavored protein powder years ago, not sure if there is a blueberry flavored one anywhere.

Flax Seed Muffins:

1/4 cup flax seed -- grind - should make 1/2 cup ground

1/4 cup protein powder

2 tablespoons oil

1/4 cup artificial sweetener -- splenda is best

1 egg -- beaten

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons banana extract -- or flavor of choice

1/4 teaspoon salt substitute -- gives potassium

1 ounce chopped nuts -- optional

1/2 cup water

Mix the above, let sit for a few minutes to thicken if necessary. Spoon into 6 non-stick (I spray with pam) muffin tins.

Bake 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Thanks Flower!! I made some today off of memory from what you said last night! I used sour cream instead of the ranch dressing and it still came out good! I think I did cheddar by accident instead of the mozzarella, but the orangeness just blended in with the buffalo sauce! HaHa I am so glad you made this last night ... I saw someone post about it yesterday and I wanted to try it so bad! You read my mind!!!

p.s. I didnt realize we weren't OH friends!! LOL

Topic: Buffalo Chicken Dip
In case anyone else wants it...I served this last night at my support group meeting and it was enjoyed all around.  I serve it with carrot sticks, celery sticks or veggie chips.... I bet baked tostitos chips would be good too.

Here it is... with nutritional information too...    so 1/4 cup serving is 68 calories, 1.5g fat, 2g carb, 1g sugar, and 10g of protein!!   two or three (I use three) 10oz cans 98%fat free chunk white chicken breast in water, drained one 8oz tub fat-free cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese 1/4 cup fat-free ranch dressing 1/4 cup fat-free greek yogurt   Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees   Place cream cheese in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Mix in Frank's Red Hot, mozzarella cheese, ranch dressing, and yogurt. Stir in chicken until thoroughly combined. I prefer to eat it cold but my husband likes it Hot... so in that case..... Spoon mixture evenly into a deep 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish.   Bake in oven for 20 minutes, or until mixture is heated through. Stir well and Enjoy!!   You can also microwave uncovered on high for 5 minute (stopping and stirring half way through cooking) or until hot.

LOL!  Lisa and I are doing a walk for diabetes and we sold cupcakes to raise money!  Just the kind you buy in a box from Pillsbury and make ... BUT since we are raising $$ for diabetes we also made and sold sugar free cupakes :)  To make them more WLS friendly I used applesauce instead of oil.
