1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
1 packet Splenda or 1 tsp. sugar-free syrup such as Torani

Mix all ingredients together and pour into a square (sandwich) container. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. All done!

Put butter or other toppings on it and enjoy!

Optional frosting:
mix 1 packet Splenda or sugar-free syrup into cream cheese and frost the bread
