Healthy Protein Lava Cake

Ingredients

• 8 oz cottage cheese, half a 16oz tub
• 2 whole eggs
• 4 tbsp powdered monkfruit sweetener, or sweetener of choice, must be powdered
• 3 tbsp cacao powder, use 2.5 tbsp if you want it less rich
• vanilla extract, small splash
• chocolate chips, optional, sugar free or regular, as many as desired

Steps

1. Process 8oz cottage cheese in a small food processor until smooth to get rid of the curds, then transfer to a small oven-safe bowl.

2. Crack in 2 eggs to the processed cottage cheese.

3. Add the cacao powder (about 3 tbsp, or up to 4 for a richer flavor).

4. Stir in 3 to 4 tbsp of powdered monkfruit or preferred sweetener, making sure it's powdered.

5. Add a splash of vanilla extract and mix thoroughly until you have a smooth batter.

6. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top if desired, and shake so they partially submerge into the batter for a lava cake effect.

7. Bake at 350°F for 33-35 minutes.
