Any fellow peanut butter addicts out there? 𝠉✋

This STEAMING hot molten lava peanut butter chocolate cake is sooo delicious. I love when things taste naughty but they're actually full of clean, healthy, good-for-you ingredients!
This cake is rich, chocolaty, gooey, peanut buttery, decedent, dairy-free, gluten-free, flourless, sugar-free, quick, easy, and ahMaiZINg!

PB Choc Lava Cake

Serving size - 2 cakes
Ingredients:

• 1 c Enjoy Life 69% cacao dark chocolate chips (dairy, nut & soy-free) *Pic Below
• 1 T Maranatha chunky peanut butter
• 1 egg
• 1 t vanilla extract
• 1/8 c vanilla coconut yogurt (or greek yogurt if not dairy-free)
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 c powdered peanut butter (I use PB2 powder)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400* Fahrenheit

Rub 2 ramekins with coconut oil

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the coconut yogurt, egg, salt, vanilla extract and salt (preferably with a stand mixer) until frothy

Melt your chocolate with a tsp of coconut oil until smooth 

In multiple intervals, slowly add your egg mixture into your melted chocolate while constantly whisking (this ensures your eggs don't scramble from the heat of the chocolate)

Once everything is whisked together, mix in 1/4 c PB2 Powder

Pour some of the mixture into the ramekin until it is 1/2 full

Add in 2 T chunky peanut butter (the more the merrier in my opinion!)

Fill the rest of the ramekin with your chocolate mixture until the peanut butter is completely covered 

Bake for 10 minutes and make sure to let it slightly cool before trying to separate it from the ramekin

Sprinkle some additional PB2 powder on top to make it look cuuuute 

DEVOUR 

(and definitely take a video of the molten lava peanut butter that spills out at the first spoonful!!)

Homemade Healthy Twix

THESE ARE GOOD.

When I'm bored, sometimes I'll start throwing things into a food processor and try to make something new and yummy (haha, anyone else?) A few weeks ago I decided that I was going to try to make healthy Twix. So I tried it... BOOM. So good.

Healthy Homemade Twix Bars

Ingredients:
Base layer-

• 1 c coconut flour
• 3 T coconut sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 c egg whites (or a whole egg)
• vanilla
• 1/2 c apple sauce
• almond milk to reach desired consistency

Caramel layer-

• 12 soaked dates
• 1/4 c water 
• 2 T maple syrup
• pinch of salt
• a few tsp carob powder (optional - this just gives it more of that "toffee" taste)

Chocolate-

• Dark Chocolate 
• 1 T Coconut oil

Directions:
Mix all of the ingredients for the base layer until the mix reaches a firm/doughy consistency and press into a pan lined with parchment paper
**You can either place this in the freezer to set OR bake on 375 for 10 minutes**
While the base layer is either setting (or baking), strain the dates and place them into a food processor with 1/4 c water and process until it reaches a smooth consistency
Add in the maple syrup, salt, carob powder, and more water if needed
Once the base layer is ready, spread the date caramel evenly on top
Place it back into the freezer to set again
After about 10 minutes in the freezer, take out your base and caramel concoction and slice into twix-sized bars and either space them out on a plate, or place them on a cooling rack (so you can pour your chocolate evenly on top)
Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil
Pour the chocolate evenly over the twix bars until they are all covered
Place your bars back into the freezer and wait for them to set (should only take a few minutes)
Enjoy your dairy-free, refined sugar-free, grain-free, guilt-free treat!
