Cook for about 1 minute. Times are going to vary so keep an eye on it.  I had to stop mine after 45 seconds. Then put it in again for another 10 - 15 seconds.  It's very HOT, so be careful!

@Hannah, you can create your own recipes in MyFitnessPal. You can keep track of your daily calorie intake just by scanning an item's barcode. It's a great app, I love it!! Lose It app does the all the same things too but I found MyFitnessPal has a larger food database. Thanks for checking out my guide. 😊

@Nancy, thank you!! I haven't tried a lemon cake version but that sounds so good, I'll have to try. I have tried a low cal high protein brownie that's very yummy!! I haven't tried gluten free though. I'll have to look into that too. Have you tried or know of lemon, other low cal or gluten free versions?

I love the simplicity, the colored sprinkles. Have you tried lemon cake version or any other low cal versions? Gluten free?
