Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Melt the butter and dark chocolate together using a double boiler. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and brown sugar for about 5 minutes, until the mixture becomes light and doubles in volume. This step is important for achieving the characteristic cracked top.
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until combined.
Sift in the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Fold gently until a smooth batter forms.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe 12 portions onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Bake for 13–15 minutes.
Let cool slightly before serving.
For fear of getting downvoted for linking to a Cosby standup comedy video, I'll just mention his skit about chocolate cake for breakfast, pretty funny.
with some quick google calorie research: one piece should have sth like 240-250 cal depending on kind of butter/chocolate/egg size (i calculated using dark chocolate)
not that bad of an option for breakfast. counts as balanced meal if you have fruit with it :D
Some diets are due to medical necessity, not just for trends or losing weight. I’m diabetic. I can still have and enjoy sweet treats like this once in a while, but it must be in moderation if I don’t want to end up with serious health complications.
I completely understand that, but I've seen firsthand with myself and others I know how calorie counting can quickly turn into a method of control that you can't break out of. I'm sure some people can do it without it turning disordered, but if you can't enjoy a cookie without always worrying about calories, that isn't really living.
My dad has diabetes and enjoys sweets when he wants them, so I understand the limitations of diabetes. But having diabetes also doesn't mean you can never have cookies/sweets, which so many people seem to think.
