Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease four ramekins with coconut oil or butter.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup of dark chocolate and 1/4 cup of coconut oil. Microwave until melted and smooth.
Whisk together the melted chocolate mixture with 1/4 cup protein powder, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup almond flour, and 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup.
Divide the batter evenly among the greased ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Edges should look set while centers remain soft.
Cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then invert onto a plate and serve with fresh berries and Greek yogurt.
