I enjoy cooking and baking as much as eating the food that I’ve prepared, but what I love doing the most is discovering recipes that you can make in an air fryer! What I love about them is how convenient they are to make and they are also a great option for those who don’t have an oven or grill.

My most recent favorite is this chocolate lava cake by Tasty Fit Macros on YouTube which is so soft and oozing with yummy chocolate filling. This will be a dessert that both kids and adults alike won’t be able to resist for sure. Learn how now by watching the video tutorial below.

Ingredients for Air-Fried Chocolate Lava Cake:

1½ tbsp of dark chocolate chips
⅛ tsp of coconut oil
1 whole egg
1½ tbsp of chocolate protein
2 tbsp of cocoa powder
2 tbsp of nonfat Greek yogurt

How to Make Chocolate Lava Cake in the Air Fryer:

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the coconut oil and dark chocolate chips, then heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, and stir them in between each interval until smooth and melted.

Step 2

Add in the egg, then give them a good whisk until incorporated, add the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and Greek yogurt, and continue to whisk until combined.

Step 3

Lightly grease a small ramekin or oven-safe bowl with nonstick cooking spray, then pour in the batter evenly, and place it in the air fryer basket.

Step 4

Preheat your air fryer to 330°F, for around 3 to 5 minutes, then let the cake air fry for about 7 to 10 minutes or until the edges and top are set but the center is slightly jiggly.

Step 5

Remove the ramekin from the air fryer, then let the cake cool for about 3 to 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake, and invert it to a plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
