1. Preheat your oven to 400 F. Rub two 3.5 inch ramekins with coconut oil and sprinkle with cocoa powder so that the inside is fully covered. Set aside.
2
2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, heat the coconut oil and chocolate in the microwave using half power and microwaving for 20 seconds at a time. Stir after 20 seconds and repeat until the chocolate is smooth and melted.

3. While the chocolate melts, beat together the eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla extract and salt until the mixture lightens in color and the coconut sugar begins to break down, about 2 minutes.

4. Pour the egg mixture into the chocolate/oil mixture, stirring constantly until everything is well mixed and the chocolate begins to thicken. Gently fold in the protein powder until well incorporated.

5. Divide the batter between the ramekins, filling only halfway full. Place a 1/2 tablespoon-sized ball of almond butter in the center of each ramekin and gently divide the remaining batter, so that the ramekins are just over 3/4 of the way full.

6. Place in the preheated over and bake until the outside is set, but the center looks slightly soft and under-cooked, about 10 minutes.

7. Remove from the oven and let them stand one minute. Then, gently run a knife along the outside of the ramekin and place a plate upside down on top.Gently turn the plate/ramekin over and the cake will slide right out.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
