Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened peanut butter (smooth preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional: Sugar-free chocolate chips for the center, whipped cream, or keto ice cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease 1-2 ramekins or small oven-safe mugs.
  2. Melt butter and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl (20-30 seconds). Stir until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and salt.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients with the melted butter mixture. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
  5. Spoon batter into prepared ramekins, filling three-quarters full. Add a teaspoon of peanut butter or sugar-free chocolate chips to the center for extra gooeyness.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite keto-friendly toppings.

Notes

  • Watch the baking time closely; overbaking will remove the lava-like center.
  • Substitute coconut oil for butter to make this recipe dairy-free.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
