Ingredients

• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 6 pieces Vegan chocolate squares

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease six ramekins.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside for 5 minutes to curdle slightly, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

Add the coconut sugar to the flour mixture and whisk together until well combined.

Step 5

To the almond milk mixture, add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil. Whisk until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the dark chocolate chips into the batter gently.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them halfway.

Step 9

Place a vegan chocolate square into the center of each filled ramekin and cover with the remaining batter.

Step 10

Arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are firm but the center remains soft.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let them sit for 1-2 minutes before carefully turning them out onto individual plates.

Step 12

Serve immediately while the center is still molten, optionally topping with vegan whipped cream or berries.
