Oven-Baked Chocolate Lava Cake (Single Serve)

• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 large egg

2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (plus extra for the center)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon oat flour

1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)

Pinch of salt

Directions

Preheat and prep

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium ramekin.

Mix the wet ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla, and honey or maple syrup until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients

Stir in the cocoa powder, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until fully combined and glossy.

Add the chocolate

Fold in the chocolate chips. For an extra molten center, press a few additional chocolate chips into the middle of the batter.

Fill the ramekin

Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin and smooth the top.

Bake

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The edges should look set while the center still has a slight jiggle. Less time means more lava. More time means more cake.

Rest briefly

Let the cake rest for 2 minutes to help it set while keeping the center gooey.

Serve

Enjoy straight from the ramekin or run a knife around the edge and invert onto a plate. Crack it open while warm.
