Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Mix together powdered peanut butter and almond milk in a small bowl to form a thick dough. Shape into a ball, and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Mix together protein powder, oat flour, powdered peanut butter, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, almond milk, and vanilla in a small bowl.
- Pour the cake batter into a lightly greased ramekin. Place the frozen peanut butter filling in the center, and gently press it down until mostly submerged.
- Bake at 350F for 12 minutes in the oven or 8 minutes in the air fryer, or until the top and sides are just set to the touch.
- Let it cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a plate.
- Mix together protein powder, cocoa powder, and almond milk in a small bowl.
- Spread the frosting on top of the lava cake.
Notes
- I'm using vanilla whey in the cake and chocolate whey in the frosting, but you can do the other way around, or use all vanilla or all chocolate in both; whichever you have on hand.
