Instructions
Making Olympic Peanut Butter Lava Cakes is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
3. Add Peanut Butter: Stir the creamy peanut butter into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
4. Whisk Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
6. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined.
7. Fill Ramekins: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ full.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be firm while the center remains soft.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the lava cakes cool in the ramekins for about 5 minutes.
10. Invert and Serve: Carefully invert each ramekin onto individual plates. Gently tap to release the cakes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
