I have everything but the chips. I am buying regular ones because all sugar 
free items give Hank and I horrible headaches.
Thanks for sending this.
I like the combination of almond and coconut flours together.

[CnD] Is there a recipe for Crockpot Lava Cake that is healthier?

2020-06-03 Thread Jennifer Thompson via Cookinginthedark


Slow Cooker Low-Carb Chocolate Lava Cake


Ingredients:

Chocolate Lava Cake

1 cups almond meal/flour

½ cups coconut flour
¼ cups cocoa powder
4 tbsp granulated sweetener of choice or more to your taste
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
½ cups sugar-free dark chocolate chips
3 eggs
1 egg white
¾ cups unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla
4 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Chocolate Sauce

½ cups warm water
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp granulated sweetener of choice or more to your taste


Instructions


1.  Grease the liner on your slow cooker. 

2.  In a large bowl mix together all the wet ingredients for your cake.
Then sift the dry ingredients (don't use the chocolate chips yet) into the
wet ingredients with a fine mesh sieve or sifter. Mix the wet and dry
ingredients together.

3.  Pour the batter into the slow cooker and spread it out. Sprinkle the
chocolate chips on top of the batter. Mix together the chocolate sauce in
separate cup then pour it over the batter. Let the chocolate sauce sit on
top of the batter, do not mix it in.

4.  Cover the slow cooker. Cook the cake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours on the low
setting. The cooking time vary depending on the size of the slow cooker so
keep an eye on it. It is done with the top is shiny and looks fudgy. Your
cake should not look dry. Scoop the cake out and serve in bowl topped in
sweetened whipped cream and berries.

Hi thanks these recipes are okay, but I was looking for something healthier
than this.  Here is what I mean.

 

These recipes use a cake mix and vegetable oil.  This is not healthy because
it has wheat flour and trans fats.

Is there a recipe that uses a nut flour and is made from scratch?

Thanks.
