Introduction

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Lava Cake is a rich, gooey dessert that combines decadent chocolate with a melty peanut butter center—all while packing in 40g of protein per serving! It’s the perfect guilt-free indulgence for busy moms who want a quick and satisfying sweet treat.

Ingredients

• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder

• ¼ cup oat flour (or blended oats)

• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

• ½ tsp baking powder

• ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk

• ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp natural peanut butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set to 350°F and grease two small ramekins.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together protein powder, oat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Fill the Ramekins: Pour half of the batter into each ramekin, then place ½ tbsp peanut butter in the center of each and cover with remaining batter.

5. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains gooey.

6. Serve & Enjoy: Let cool for 2 minutes, then dig in while warm!
