Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cake

Does it get any better than this?! I have a major sweet tooth and sometimes it gets the best of me. When I saw this recipe, I just had to try it and boy am I glad I did. It's delicious. It felt like a cheat but it is completely 21 Day Fix Approved -- 1 red and 2 teaspoons.
 
 
 
 
 
Ingredients
1/4 t baking powder
pinch of sea salt
1 T unsweetened cocoa powder
1 egg white
2 t honey
5 T unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 t peanut butter
 
Instructions
  1. Spray mug with coconut oil.
  2. In a small bowl, combine Shakeology, baking powder, sea salt and cocoa powder.
  3. Add egg white, honey and almond milk. Stir until fully combined.
  4. Add half of the batter to the bottom of the prepared mug.
  5. Drop 1 teaspoon of peanut butter in center of batter. Add remaining batter to the mug.
  6. Microwave times will vary. Start with 1 minute, 30 seconds and add 10-second intervals until desired cake consistence is achieved. My microwave's sweet spot was 1 minute and 50 seconds.
  7. Remove from microwave and allow to cool in mug for 1 - 2 minutes.
  8. Remove from mug (or eat directly from it!) and drizzle with 1 teaspoon peanut butter.
  9. Put in your belly.
 
Tips
  1. Top with sifted Vanilla Shakeology, fresh berries or toasted coconut. Serve with homemade frozen yogurt or banana ice cream.
  2. *Baking Shakeology can denature some of the nutritional properties. I personally believe a less-nutritional superfood cake is still a better option than a traditional molten lava cake averaging over 400 calories and 30 grams of sugar.
