Air Fryer No-Flour Chocolate Dessert

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 2 teaspoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener of your choice (e.g., stevia, monk fruit, sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Optional: a few drops of vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mixture:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth and well combined.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 3 minutes.
  3. Cook the Dessert:
    • Pour the mixture into an air fryer-safe ramekin or small oven-safe dish.
    • Place the ramekin in the air fryer basket.
    • Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dessert is set but still soft in the center. The cooking time may vary depending on the size and shape of your dish, so check for doneness with a toothpick.
  4. Serve:
    • Once done, remove the ramekin from the air fryer carefully (it will be hot).
    • Let it cool slightly before enjoying. You can dust it with powdered sweetener, add a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or serve it with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
