Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup plain whole milk greek yogurt (non-fat works too here)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup natural sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, erythritol etc)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (1 tablespoon per ramekin)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Lightly spray four 6 oz ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and place them on a baking sheet for easy in-and-out of the oven.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
  4. Add the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
  5. Whisk or stir until you have a thick, smooth batter with no dry pockets (it will be thicker than regular cake batter because of the protein powder).
  6. Fill up the ramekin about 1/3 of the way, then add 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips in the center. Then finish filling the ramekin until it’s about 2/3 of the way full.
  7. Repeat this process for the other three ramekins.
  8. ​Tap the baking sheet gently on the counter to level the tops and pop any large air bubbles.
  9. Bake at 400°F for about 11–12 minutes.
  10. ​Let the ramekins sit for about 5-10 minutes.
