Ingredients
Directions
12 STEPS
1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease 3 small ramekins.
2
Dust each ramekin with unsweetened cocoa powder, coating the insides evenly, and remove the excess.
3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unsalted butter and chopped unsweetened chocolate. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
4
Add Swerve Sweetener or granulated erythritol to the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until well combined.
5
Incorporate the large egg, large egg yolk, vanilla extract, stevia extract, and pinch of salt into the chocolate mixture, whisking until smooth.
6
Gradually mix in the almond flour, ensuring the batter is well combined.
7
Divide approximately two-thirds of the batter between the three prepared ramekins, covering the bottoms.
8
Place a spoonful of creamy peanut butter into the center of the batter in each ramekin.
9
Pour the remaining batter over the peanut butter in each ramekin, ensuring it's completely covered.
10
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cakes are set but the centers still jiggle slightly.
11
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
12
Carefully run a sharp knife around the edges of each ramekin and invert the cakes onto plates. Serve immediately and enjoy!
