Today we are making ooey gooey molten lava cakes. Cake-y on the outside and decadent gooey chocolate on the inside. A special treat for a special occasion. We used Krisda chocolate chips made with stevia to lower the sugar content.

Equipment

  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 spatula
  • 2 ramekins
  • 1 small sheet pan

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Krisda stevia semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 3 tbsp almond flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 F.
  • In a small bowl, add chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir gently. Repeat 2-3 times to melt your chips.
  • Add other ingredients to your melted chips. Stir to mix together.
  • Use avocado spray to grease ramekins. This step is not necessary if you plan to eat the cakes right out of the ramekin. Divide mixture into 2 ramekins.
  • Put ramekins on a small baking sheet. Bake 12-17 minutes. Be careful not to overbake lava cakes or you will lose the gooey centre. They should just barely look done on the top.
  • Let the lava cakes cool on the tray for 5 minutes. Invert them onto a serving plate or eat them right out of the ramekin. Keep in mind that ramekins will be hot. Serve cakes when you can touch the ramekins without getting burned.
  • Serve alone or add a small scoop of ice cream or whipping cream for a fancier dessert.

Notes

If you want to prepare your molten lava cakes in advance, cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and leave in the fridge. Take them out of the fridge 30 minutes before you want to bake them. 
If you want to bake your molten lava cakes in advance and serve them later, heat up in the microwave for 30 seconds or until desired temperature. 
Substitute regular chocolate chips for sugar free chocolate chips (sugar content will go up to 36 grams of sugar; which is 9 tsp of sugar for each serving).
If you don't have ramekins, use a muffin pan. Since the cakes will be smaller, you will get 4 instead of 2.
