Paleo Cooking Recipes: Molten Chocolate Lava Cake (no eggs)

Paleo Chocolate Lava Cakes 

from "The Paleo Chocolate Lovers Cookbok"

DRY INGREDIENTS
1 & 1/2 cups (168 g) almond flour
1/4 cup (34 g) coconut sugar
2 tablespoons (17 g) arrowroot flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

WET INGREDIENTS
3 ounces dark chocolate, melted over a double boiler
1/4 cup applesauce with no added sugar
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon liquid vanilla stevia

ADD IN
1 ounce dark chocolate, cut into large pieces

1) Preheat your oven 400°F.
2) In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients—almond flour, coconut sugar, arrowroot flour, baking soda, and baking powder
3) In a separate mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the wet ingredients—melted chocolate, applesauce, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and liquid vanilla stevia.
4) Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and combine with the electric mixer.
5) Grease 4 small (1/3 cup) ramekins, and divide the batter evenly among them. The batter will be quite thick and look almost like cookie dough.
6) Press the chocolate chunks partially into the batter in the middle of each ramekin.
7) Place the ramekins on a baking sheet, and bake for about 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
8) Let cool for only a few minutes before serving. The chocolate centers will solidify as the cakes cool.
