Snix – a healthy candy bar

I think my husband’s world came crashing down when he learned he developed a peanut allergy at 31.  That meant no more Snickers, which were his favorite splurge treat.  He now has turned to Twix to get his candy bar fix on those rare occasions. …

Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cakes
April 25, 2019

Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cakes

We’re going to tap into our inner child for a moment for this tasty treat.  The unbeatable combination of chocolate and peanut butter joined into a scrumptious molten lava cake.  I’ll give you (and me) a second to take that in.

A molten lava cake with rich fudgy dark chocolate on the outside, and when you dip your spoon in for your first bite you get an oozing of delicious melty peanut butter.  Top it off with some ice cream and you have yourself a happy mouth and tummy.

dairy free, gluten free chocolate peanut butter lava cakes

My little guy quite literally yells at me between bites because I can’t get the spoon to his mouth fast enough.  It’s amusing and makes it worth every minute it takes making these, which is not many.

One may not believe that such a decedent dessert can be free from gluten and dairy, but I’ll have you know it absolutely can.  Just be careful not to overcook these or you’ll miss out on that pudding-like cake consistency and the melty peanut butter.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cakes

  • Servings: 4
  • Print

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cups stevia, coconut sugar, xylitol, or sweetener of choice
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 9 oz vegan dark chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil, or oil of choice
  • 8 tablespoons peanut butter (any nut or seed butter will work)
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Dairy-free ice cream, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350⁰
  2. Lightly grease each ramekin and add about ¼ teaspoon of cocoa powder into each and swirl to cover bottom and sides.
  3. In a medium bowl mix together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  4. In a microwave safe bowl add the chocolate chips and oil and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir then microwave in intervals of 10-15 seconds until completely melted, stirring between each interval.
  5. Add the chocolate to the egg mixture and stir to combine. It will become a consistency that resembles pudding.
  6. Add about 1/3 cup chocolate to each ramekin.
  7. Add 2 tablespoons of cold peanut butter to the center of each ramekin.
  8. Divide remaining chocolate to cover the peanut butter in each ramekin.
  9. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes. Cakes should rise, but will look slightly undercooked in the center.
  10. Let cool slightly for 3-5 minutes then place small plate over top of the ramekin, and using a dish towel to hold the hot ramekin, flip it over and shake slightly to help work the cake out.
  11. Top with ice cream and dig in!

Healthy Vegan Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are ooey, gooey, chewy and delicious. No one will know they’re vegan and healthy.  I used coconut sugar, which gives these cookies a darker color and richer flavor…yum. Although, any sweetener would work.  Best of all, they stay soft.  I’m personally not a…
