3/4 cup club soda
1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with foil baking liners.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, egg substitute, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
With an electric mixer set to medium speed, beat until smooth. In a large bowl, whisk cake mix with soda until smooth.
Evenly distribute cake mixture among the lined cups of the muffin pan. Smooth out the mixture with the back of a spoon.
Evenly distribute cream-cheese mixture among the cups. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
