Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare Ramekins: Generously grease two ramekins with butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Melt Chocolate & Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt chocolate and butter using a microwave or double boiler. Stir until smooth.
  4. Whisk Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat eggs until fluffy.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Add eggs, almond flour, and sweetener to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until fully combined.
  6. Fill Ramekins: Divide the batter evenly between the greased ramekins.
  7. Bake: Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 9 minutes, until the tops are set but the centers remain jiggly.
  8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the molten center right away, served in the ramekins or inverted onto a plate.

Notes

  • Nut-Free Option: Substitute coconut flour (use only ½ tablespoon as it’s more absorbent).
  • Dairy-Free Version: Swap butter for coconut oil.
  • Extra Flavor: Add vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon.
