Single-Serving Chocolate Muffin with Fudge Sauce

The rich chocolate muffin is not only HEALTHY, but it tops portion control charts. It serves just one healthy chocolate monster, unless your slightly insane and you decide to share…In which case, I suggest doubling the recipe and making a second. You’re going to want more than a taste.

  1. Hey girl! Do your recipes, such as this delish looking one, refer to Stevia amounts in liquid or powder/granule form? Thanks!

  2. Hi Sally! First off, I love your blog. It is so beautiful and I love to read all the things you have to share with the world! I have a question about this recipe. I have made these muffins twice, and both times they came out very liquid-y. The only thing I changed was using raw honey instead of Stevia. Would that cause it to make it this way? Please advise!! Thank you!

    1. Hi Faith. Thank you for the lovely comments on the blog! As the stevia I use is granulated (dry), using a liquid in it’s place is likely to make the picture runny if you haven’t increased the dry mixture to compensate. Try increasing the dry ingredients a little until the mixture reaches the usual cake batter consistency before baking. Sal x
