Ingredients
- 100 grams Dark chocolate, 70% cocoa
- 50 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 2
Lightly grease four ramekins with cooking spray and lightly dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture, stirring gently until well combined.
Step 6
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract.
Step 7
Sift the flour and a pinch of salt over the chocolate mixture and fold gently until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
Step 8
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Step 9
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are firm but the centers remain soft.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let them rest for 1 minute.
Step 11
Run a knife around the edges of the ramekins and invert onto serving plates.
Step 12
Serve immediately for the best gooey center, accompanied by a scoop of low-fat ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
