Healthier Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes

This is one of the richest desserts I’ve indulged in and it is totally worth the 30 minute hassle it takes to make them. Thick, dark chocolate oozing out of a soft chocolate cake is just eye candy!

I remember, a few years back, we would have so much trouble making this cake. It literally took us seven to eight tries during the summer to get the center perfect. Now when I make this cake, I usually try to follow the recipe as close as possible because even the minutes you leave it to cool down are important. It’s super good but I have to admit, it’s not that healthy… So I made a healthier version, using Texanerin’s recipe as base, and it turned out, wait for it, even better than the unhealthier version!

Healthy Chocolate Fudge

A rich piece of chocolate for dessert. Sounds good, right? Well what if it was healthy for you? I think that’s even better.

Coconut oil is one of the must-have ingredients in my pantry because I use this healthy oil to substitute for butter and vegetable oil in my baking experiments. There are many reasons why it is considered healthy (I found my info here):

It’s a saturated fat, which is a good kind of fat
Decreases appetite for unhealthy food, such as sugar
Helps kill bacterias
Speeds up your metabolism
Fatty acids in coconut oil can turn into Ketones, which can reduce chances of seizures

And mixed with cacao and honey? An unbeatable healthy chocolate dessert. Of course, eating too much of anything is not good for you so don’t eat the entire batch (although I am very tempted to)!

Gooey Chocolate Zucchini Brownies

I recently started using Pinterest, mainly because every time I see something interesting on the website this annoying pop up appears and I can’t see what caught my eye. So I made an account. I didn’t understand why people would take hours just pinning stuff, but now it all makes sense. I love putting everything in boards. It feels like I’m organizing my life. And it’s so easy. That’s also where I found the inspiration for these healthy delicious brownies.

Nowadays, you can hide veggies in anything and it will still taste good. Like these chocolate zucchini brownies. I am insanely in love with this. The chocolate just oozes in my mouth and afterwards my hands are covered with sticky chocolate, but it’s worth it! (Although having chocolaty fingers in Spanish class is not ideal when we have to write stuff down.)

Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie

It’s made in less than a minute, which means you can make yourself a cookie whenever! All the ingredients are mixed in a ramekin and then baked in the microwave, giving you a soft cookie which literally melts into your mouth laced with chocolate chips. This healthy dessert came to mind after a friend from school suggested me to put a very easy and quick recipe on my blog. So here it is, J!

I love making this when I’m just too lazy to make a big batch of cookies, especially on school days. And for those microwave-haters, I got you covered. This can also be made in the oven, but will take around 15 minutes to bake.

Did I mention that it is vegan?

Healthy Chocolate Frosting

This is freaking amazing. I never knew frosting could taste this good and still be healthy.

There are only 3 ingredients needed and the result is pure, creamy chocolate bliss. I had to restrain myself from licking the entire bowl clean.

By the way, this awesome looking cake here? Made it for my brother’s birthday and he ate 3 slices in the same day!
