1 packet options, 1 beaten egg and a little sweetener, whisk all together and pop in microwave for 1min.

Apparently.

I've never had a chocolate omelette before. Not keen to have one ever again, to be honest.

If anyone has tried this where am I going wrong!?

Foodie maybe you put in too much yog?

Huff - they are lovely and do taste like a moist muffin :)

SamHamwidge · 29/01/2014 20:27

Update - tried cocoa. A definite improvement but still eggy not cakey

I'm gonna crack this if it kills me

Funny I made the weetabix muffins today and didn't really like them. Thought they tasted just like weetabix.

I know that sounds a bit obvious but was hoping they would be more cake like. Mine were a bit soggy I think.

Huffpot · 28/01/2014 13:59

like the sound of the weetabix muffins

mercibucket · 27/01/2014 17:15

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/01/2014 12:52

ive made it and thought it was a good quick choc fix for 1 syn

I did cake in a cup before - some use options sachet instead

1tbsp cocoa
3tbsp sweetener
1 egg

Whisk egg till light & fluffy.
Add sweetener & cocoa & fold into egg.
Then it should look like cake mix.
Now whisk again for 1min.
Pour into a cup & microwave for 1 minute.
Turn out & serve immediately

i do love the weetabix muffins

i made weetabix muffins today - scrummy

crush 2 weetabix (b)
mix in 2 eggs, yog, tbsp sweetener

cake cases/muffin trays 20mins 180 - makes 6 and just like a moist muffin

i did vanilla but may try with strawberry/chocolate ml

makes 6 big ones so either have as your b or syn muffin 1 syn each

Weight gain in pregnancy

Weight gain during pregnancy is one of life's certainties, but studies show that many women don't know how much weight they should be putting on – and could be putting themselves and their baby at risk

Apparently, according to the people in my class that have tried it, it only works if you whisk it for ages and ten get it in the microwave in less than approx 5 seconds.

SamHamwidge · 26/01/2014 22:10

Thanks for the tip Foodie , will go buy some cocoa powder and report back!

FoodieToo · 26/01/2014 16:47

Did you all use Options? I used cocoa and it was yum.
Had it again last night and it really feels like chocolate pudding,fills me up and kills cravings!
My best Sw discovery so far.

Midori1999 · 25/01/2014 19:29

I've tried this but used less sweetener, it was fecking hideous.

I have also made the 1/2 sun cake/roulade and the first time it actually turned out really nice, the second it seemed very eggy, so I assumed I messed it up.

FoodieToo · 25/01/2014 16:29

I made mine with cocoa. It was delicious. Not eggy at all. Very cake like.
Feel like having one every day now!

HappyGoLuckyGirl · 24/01/2014 23:54

God damn.

Well, you know Laurie, the tails just give it that something extra

LaurieFairyCake · 24/01/2014 20:27

Lol at SW mouse and not mousse

Poor wee mice

acsec · 24/01/2014 19:39

HappyGoLuckyGirl SW mousse is minging! and this cake in a cup sounds rank!

I've been on SW forever and I just eat my syns when I want them or have a HiFi bar/ Alpen light or a Shape 0% yogurt if I don't want to use my syns.

HappyGoLuckyGirl · 24/01/2014 19:35

Advisable!

SW mouse is nice.

Quark, natural yoghurt, sweetener and options any flavour. Whisk together and leave to chill in fridge. Makes a chocolaty yoghurt, mouse thing.

BabyMummy29 · 24/01/2014 19:27

Sounds vile. I'm doing slimming world but haven't come across this - won't bother with it by this description

HappyGoLuckyGirl · 24/01/2014 19:23

I'm on SW too. When I saw this cake in a cup recipe I was

I made it, tasted it and was

Basically a chocolate omelette. Boo.

But I do like the SW plan. I'm about to make pasta with a tomato, feta cheese and sweetcorn sauce. I can have as much as I want. Back to

Headlikeafuckingorange · 24/01/2014 19:05

There's an eggy Swiss roll thing too. My colleague was raving about it but it's vile. I would rather go without cake than eat something like that!

TimeToPassGo · 24/01/2014 18:59

That sounds like the worst 'treat' ever invented! :o

SamHamwidge · 24/01/2014 18:55

I agree - will stop trying to fake it and just have a small bar of chocolate. Lesson learnt!

Mind you, I have just engineered all my calories and macros for the day to budget in two glasses of wine for this evening. I'm not entirely sure that I have this diet stuff sussed...

2kidsintow · 24/01/2014 18:52

Do you have to separate the egg, whip up the white, then fold the rest in? Then it's like a low fat souffle thing.

RubberDuck · 24/01/2014 18:51

Yeah, I think diet 'cake' would just make me sad :(
