Servings4
4 oz dark chocolate
2/3 cup butter
4 eggs

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with lower sugar

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Lower sugar chocolate reduces sweetness while maintaining richness.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option with similar fat content.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds a unique flavor while being a natural sweetener.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal + water

💰Cheaper: egg replacer

Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds ingredients.

Grease the ramekin with butter and line with paper, then grease the paper.

2

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

3

Melt 4 oz of dark chocolate and 2/3 cup of butter together gently in a heatproof bowl over simmering water.

4

In a bowl, beat together 4 eggs, 2/3 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of flour.

Once the chocolate and butter are melted, pour them into the egg mixture while whisking to avoid clumping.
