Dukan Chocolate Cake from Muffin Mix

So, I found myself in a pickle. My open pouch of Dukan Chocolate Oat Bran Muffin mix, but no muffin tin. Instead I found a recipe on line of double chocolate cake instead…to use the batter for a cake. Make your own from scratch, just like the muffins. I prefer to slightly undercook for more dense texture, as soon as the toothpick barely has anything on it! I took the mix and two eggs, 3/4 cup non fat greek yogurt and fake sweetener (six packets) and tossed in one extra tablespoon of my unsweetened cocoa. (the fake sweetener and extra cocoa totally optional). Mixed it up; baked at 350 for 23 minutes. MOIST, dense, heavy. I took a big piece right out of the hot pan, and placed in a bowl of yogert sprinkled with goji berries. OMG. A treat during my consolidation; but during cruise? Go for it. Just this big of a piece! haha One 12th of my 9″ round is two tablespoons oat bran. I had at least 4 tablespoons in my at least one sixth of the cake. I’m very full…haha Make from SCRATCH easy. See my Muffin recipe at this blog. Adjust egg/yogurt to texture you prefer. No sugar, No fat.

Austin's Fitness Gem (besides me)

We are so lucky here in Austin to have this gem known as Town Lake, er, I know, I know, Lady Bird Lake. Sorry...I still call it Town Lake. 

By any name, it is still fabulous. If you have not been, GO. You all know where it is. You may not all know WHAT it is. It's a walking trail, a strolling trail, a trail with baby strollers, side by side with hard core runners. A trail with fitness walkers and women chatting about, well, name it. 

A place to go alone, with a friend, or with your kids to feed the ducks.  There is plenty of parking and, last but not least, a place to take your dog. Your dog will thank you.

In the perfect world, you will go, and love it so much you take your dog time and time again, your husband, your partner, your girlfriend..or alone. 

Its fitness and peace and stress reduction all in one. Go. Now. It's beckoning you. Ask me to go with you. I will, and you will thank me later. Its the best way to fitness into your life joyfully. Trust me on this one. ;-)

Warm regards,

Margo
