Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond or cassava flour
- 2 tsp matcha powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp ghee (or avocado oil for dairy-free)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp dark chocolate chips
- whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Generously spray four small 4-oz ramekins with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, matcha, baking powder, and salt).
- Add the maple syrup, eggs, ghee, and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the batter into greased ramekins. Sprinkle chocolate chips on the top of the batter in each ramekin.
- Bake for 18 minutes. Cakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Add an extra minute if necessary.
- Remove from the oven and run a butter knife around the outside of the ramekins to loosen the cakes. Once they've cooled for a few minutes, carefully invert to remove cakes and serve on plates, or serve in the ramekins if you prefer! Serve with whipped cream.
