Breakfast Chocolate Lava Baked Oatmeal Cakes

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat 4 ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together the oats, oat flour, cocoa powder, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add this into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Set aside.

Step 4

Using the microwave or a double boiler, gently melt 2 ounces of the chocolate. Add the melted chocolate into the batter and stir to combine.

Step 5

Take the remaining chocolate and cut it into 4 even pieces. (You can also combine smaller pieces into 4 even piles.) Stuff the chocolate into the center of the cakes, and use a spoon to cover them with batter.

Step 6

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve.
