Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Madeleine, A Pregnant Girl’s Chocolate Fix

Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Madeleine

Seven falls ago I was pregnant with my first child and thought pregnancy was the easiest thing in the world.

So easy I thought I could do it all the time. I actually never felt pregnant.

I never had morning sickness or any of the uncomfortable symptoms you hear about. But that was then; I was a younger, fitter pregnant girl (And I didn’t wobble!!).

Being pregnant at 27 is definitely different than being pregnant at 34.

I’ve been spared again from morning sickness but this time has brought with it kinks, weird cravings (I mean, really weird), tiredness, and a bluesy mood. All I want to do lately is eat or cry.

Thank God there is chocolate.

It’s been, my savior.

It’s saved many women before me.

Pregnant girls love their chocolate like Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Madeleine very much for a good reason. And when they need it, they need it right away.

There is always an emergency bar of chocolate in my pantry but when it’s time for afternoon coffee, I don’t just want candy with it. I want chocolate cake and I don’t want to wait for it 40 minutes to bake.

I want it faster than I can drive to the store and buy it. I want it right away!

That’s why I have been making Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Madeleine a lot lately.

My friend, Aaron, gave me a madeleine pan as a wedding gift and I have only used it once or twice in the past two years, but ever since I became pregnant I’ve used it at least a dozen times.

Thanks to my madeleine pan, my mini chocolate cakes are baked in 10 minutes, my mood is fixed, my craving satisfied, and I’m a happy wobbling pregnant girl for the rest of the day.

You can’t beat that!
