The Method

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two ramekins or muffin tin liners.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, stevia (or sweetener), and baking powder.
3
Add the egg, applesauce, and almond milk to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The batter will be thick.
4
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins or muffin tin liners.
5
Drop 1 tablespoon of peanut butter into the center of each cake.
6
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. Adjust baking time based on your oven.
7
Let cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a plate (optional). Top with dark chocolate chips if desired.
8
Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For an extra gooey center, slightly underbake the cakes.

You can substitute different nut butters for the peanut butter.

If using a different protein powder, you may need to adjust the amount of almond milk to achieve the desired consistency.

For an even richer flavor, add a pinch of salt to the batter.
