High Protein, Gluten Free Microwave Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe
Makes 2 cakes
Ingredients
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 tbsp almond flour
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
Add ingredients to a bowl and mix until smooth.
Pour into a greased microwave-safe ramekin so it is about 2/3 full.
Microwave on high for 30 seconds.
Microwave again for 20 seconds.
Check the consistency.
If the edges feel firm, it is ready to serve. If it feels soft, microwave again in 15 second intervals as all microwaves are different.
Enjoy!
