Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup Carbquick or Bisquick(Carbquick has 90% less carbs than Bisquick.)
2/3 cup Sugar substitute or sugar.  (A good sugar substitute is ZSweet.)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup Unsweetened vanilla almond milk or regular cow’s milk. (Unsweetened vanilla almond milk has just 1 carb per serving and about the same amount of fiber.)
1 egg
1/8 cup of Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup, or chocolate syrup of your choice. (Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup has zero carbs.)

1) Use 2 foil muffin/cupcake pans, made for 6 muffins/cupcakes each,  sized 9 5/8 in. x 6 3/8 in.  x 1 5/16 in. Or another size that will fit in the NuWave Oven. I found suitable 6 muffin/cupcake foil pans at my local grocery store.
2) Place cupcake liners into each of the 12 pan cups.
3) Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
4) Add the shortening and almond milk/milk.
5) Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
