LOW CARB Mini Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cakes (Gluten & Sugar Free)

Pretty, Simple, Delicious & Guilt Free!

Ingredients:
6 (4 inch) ramekins
coconut oil cooking spray
unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1/2 cup (1 stick butter)
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 tablespoons Lakanto Baking sweetener (or granulated sweetener of choice)**
2 large organic cage free eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons almond flour
1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt
4 tablespoons natural unsweetened peanut butter
1 1/2 cups whipped cream (optional)
1/8 cup sugar free dark chocolate chips (optional)

Method:
Preheat oven to 375*. Lightly grease the ramekins with the cooking oil spray. Dust the greased ramekins with cocoa powder. (shake off the excess) In a glass bowl, or measuring cup, heat the butter and chocolate, at 20 second intervals, just until melted. Whisk in the sweetener until combined. Nest, whisk in the eggs and yolks, until smooth. Add the vanilla, almond flour and salt. Whisk until well combined. Divide 2/3 of the batter between the ramekins to cover and coat the bottoms of each dish. Place 2 teaspoons of peanut butter in the center of the batter in each ramekin. Divide the remainder of the batter evenly on top of the peanut butter to cover. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. (The edges should be set and the centers jiggle slightly.) Let cool for 10 minutes in the ramekins. Makes 6 servings.

Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes. Invert onto serving plates and, if desired, top each cake with 1/4 cup whipped cream and a sprinkling of chocolate chips.

**Lakanto Baking Sweetener has a finer texture than the regular Classic Sweetener. If you do not have the Baking Sweetener in your pantry, you can process the Classic Sweetener in a food processor, to create a finer texture.

Notes: May be served warm or chilled. (Non Keto eaters will never guess that these tender, brownie-like cakes are gluten and sugar free!) I make my whipped cream with 1 cup heavy cream, 2 - 3 tablespoons Lakanto Classic sweetener and 1 envelope of "Whip It". (Whip It helps the whipped cream stay firm.)
