Pour the mixture into a greased microwave-safe ramekin or mug.

Microwave on high for about 45–60 seconds, or until the edges are set but the center remains molten.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Timing is Everything for the Molten Center ⏱️
Microwave for exactly 60-90 seconds depending on wattage—undercook slightly so the center stays gooey and molten rather than fully set. Use a toothpick test: it should meet resistance but have wet batter clinging to it.
Room Temperature Ingredients are Non-Negotiable 🌡️
Allow eggs and almond milk to reach room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth batter consistency and even cooking. Cold ingredients can create dense texture and uneven molten pockets.
Cookie Butter Viscosity Control 🥄
Slightly warm your protein cookie butter (10-15 seconds in microwave) to make it more pourable and easier to incorporate, preventing lumps and ensuring a silky batter consistency.
Monk Fruit Sweetening Adjustment 🍫
Monk fruit is sweeter than sugar—start with the recommended amount and taste your batter before cooking, as over-sweetening can create a bitter aftertaste that overpowers the chocolate.
Vessel Selection Maximizes Gooeyness 🍲
Use a microwave-safe ramekin or small bowl with thick walls rather than a mug to ensure even heat distribution and prevent the edges from cooking too quickly while the center stays perfectly molten.
