Rich and chocolatey Mini Vegan Lava Cakes. These Mini Lava Cakes are soft and dense with warm, melted chocolate on the inside.

The cake base is made from a combination of almond and oat flour, and naturally sweetened with dates. After filling your muffin tins half way with the batter, simply add two squares of your favourite vegan chocolate, and then top with the rest of your batter. The result is a soft and dense chocolate cake filled with warm and melted chocolate. What could be better?

Be sure to serve these cakes warm so you can experience that melted chocolate goodness. They’re still delicious once set, but the result is a more dense and rich cake with set chocolate on the inside.

Total Time 30

Servings 6

Ingredients

3/4 cups almond flour
3/4 cups oat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons cocoa or cacao powder
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons dates pitted
1 cup water
1 tablespoons almond butter
1/4 cup coconut oil melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
12 pieces of dark chocolate

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a cupcake pan with coconut oil, or use a silicone tray without oil.
Add the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cocoa or cacao powder to a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Add the dates and water to a small blender. Blend until smooth. Add the blended date paste, almond butter, coconut oil, and vanilla to the bowl. Stir until combined and smooth.
Spoon half of the mixture evenly into 6 cupcake molds. Add two pieces of dark chocolate on top of each filled cupcake. Top evenly with the remaining batter.
Bake in the oven for 17-20 minutes, or until firm on the edges but slightly soft in the center. Let slightly before serving. Make sure you serve these warm so the inside chocolate is melted.
