More than a mouthful…let’s just read that title again: High Protein Molten Chocolate Lava Cake. It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Especially when you consider that it contains NO gluten, NO grains and NO refined sugar. But I’m here to tell you that it’s real and it’s more than good. Oh yes, this recipe is downright divine. It’s got a perfectly soft and moist cake around the edges, and a soft, luscious, melt-y chocolate center. Just like any perfectly respectable lava cake should. I hope the photos speak for themselves. But don’t just take my word for it – make it for yourself!
Look, there is a reason this is number one on my list of ways to crush chocolate cravings, in terms of finding a healthful recipe on the Webbernet for your favourite chocolate recipe. It’s ooey-gooey, melt-y, chocolate-y goodness. It just also happens to be high in protein, gluten-free and free of refined sugar. Need I say more? This recipe must be tried to be believed:
High Protein Molten Chocolate Lava Cake
Like all great lava cake, this has a perfectly soft and moist cake around the edges, and a soft, luscious, melt-y chocolate center. But it’s high in protein, and free of gluten, grains and refined sugar! Delightfully devilish to taste but angelic in its nutrition!
