Chocolate Lava Cakes in a muffin tin

Chocolate Lava Cakes in a muffin tin


Recipe:
Ingredients
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 1/4 cup spelt, white, or gf all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp + 1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup unrefined sugar or xyiltol
1/16 tsp uncut stevia, or 2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, optional
1 3/4 cup plain yogurt, such as coconutmilk yogurt
1/3 cup vegetable or melted coconut oil (65g)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips (160g)
2 tsp vegetable or coconut oil
Total Time: 15m
Yield: 14-16 cakes


Instructions :


Preheat oven to 350 F. Line muffin tins with 14-16 liners. Combine the first 7 ingredients (and 1/2 cup chips, if desired) in a large bowl, and mix very well. In a separate bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except the 2 tsp oil and 1 cup chips. Pour wet into dry, stir until just evenly combined, and pour into the muffin tins.


Bake on the center rack 15-20 minutes or until cakes have risen and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Let cool. For the filling: very carefully melt the 1 cup chips, then stir in the 2 tsp oil for a thinner consistency.


Use a spoon or knife to cut the center out of each lava cake, making sure to not go down too far. Set tops aside. Divide the filling among the cakes, then place tops back on. Top with ice cream, whipped cream, or frosting if desired to cover the seams. Enjoy!
