5 Ingredient Keto Lava Cakes

Ingredients:

• 
  
  
  ▢ 2 oz semi sweet chocolate(55g), at least 75% cocoa solids baking chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips
• ▢ 2 tablespoon super-fine coconut flour ***see notes
• ▢ 3 TBSP butter unsalted, plus more for greasing ramekins
• ▢ 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ▢ 3.5 tablespoon powdered sweetener or more, depending on the chocolate you use - see notes

INSTRUCTIONS

 

• Heat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
• Grease 2 ramekins with butter.
• Melt the chocolate and butter and stir to combine.
• Beat your eggs well - best with a mixer.
• Add to the chocolate/butter mix together with almond flour and sweetener and stir. You'll get a dough-like consistency that is pourable.
• Pour into 2 ramekins.
• Bake 9 minutes until the top is set but still jiggly. Do not over-bake!
• Turnout onto plates and serve with a dusting of powdered sweetener and pomegranate seeds or a couple of raspberries. A mint leaf would round off the look nicely!

  NOTES

  Net carbs: 2.8g per portion. 

  If you're using coarse almond flour or ground almonds, increase the amount to 1 ½ tbsp.

  Chocolate: Use the best quality you can get hold of, with a cocoa solids amount of at least 85%. I used 100% unsweetened chocolate, so added 3 ½ tablespoon sweetener.

  If you use 90% chocolate, 2 tablespoon sweetener works well. If your chocolate already contains sweetener, adjust accordingly. If you're in the US, Lily's is always a good option.

  The nutrition info is calculated using unsweetened chocolate. If you used 90% chocolate, the amount of net carbs increases to 4.7 per portion

  If you want to turn your cakes out, grease your ramekins REALLY WELL! If you are only after the taste, there's no stress - just serve in the ramekins.

  My ramekins measured 2 inch at the bottom and 3 at the top. If you want to make 1 larger portion, you might need to increase the time in the oven by 2-3 minutes.

  Do not over-bake! The top needs to be set, but jiggly. My first round of cakes baked for 12 minutes and they were firm in the middle. Don't deprive yourself of that gooey centre 🙂

  These cakes are best eaten straight out of the oven! If you leave them in the ramekins for long, they will continue to cook and set more than you might like.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

 (I heart Naptime)

 Ingredients

    ▢ 1 cup unsalted butter , barely softened
    ▢ 1 cup light brown sugar , packed
    ▢ 1 cup granulated sugar                               Combine in mixer cream for 1 minute

    ▢ 2 large eggs , cold                                      

    ▢ 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract              Add to creamed sugars and butter mix til just combined              

    ▢ 3 cups all-purpose flour , spooned and leveled
    ▢ 1 teaspoon baking soda
    ▢ 1 teaspoon cornstarch
    ▢ ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt , or 1 teaspoon kosher                            Sift together add to mixer, blend
    ▢ 1 -2 cups chocolate chips , I prefer to mix semi-sweet and milk            Add to dough

Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
     Be careful not over mix. If the dough is too sticky add an extra Tablespoon or two of flour. Refrigerate       dough for 30-60 minutes if time allows.
    Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 Tablespoons), scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet about     2-3 inches apart. Place extra chocolate chips on the top of the cookies if desired.
   

 Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are barely golden brown. Allow cookies to set on pan for 2-3     minutes.
 

    Remove cookies to a cooling rack. Serve while warm if desired. 

• To store: These will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• To freeze cookie dough: Scoop the dough into balls, then flash freeze on a baking sheet for about 30 minutes, or until hard. Then add to a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
• Baking from frozen: I usually bake straight from frozen. While the oven preheats, let the cookie dough sit on the baking sheet as it warms. Then bake as directed, adding 1-2 minutes to the original baking time if needed.
• Freezing baked cookies: Once they have cooled, add to a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. Then thaw on the counter for a couple of hours until no longer frozen.
