Add: 1 cup Greek yogurt, ¼ cup maple syrup or honey, ⅓ cup cocoa powder, 3 tablespoon almond flour, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoon baking powder to a bowl
Mix completely until smooth
Prep ramekins: Grease 2 microwave-safe ramekins and fill each about two-thirds full with the batter.
Microwave: Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then microwave again for 20 seconds.
Check: Check the consistency, the edges should feel set while the center remains soft.
Finish cooking: If needed, microwave in 15-second intervals until the edges are firm but the center is still gooey.
Enjoy: immediately.

Microwave power varies, so start short and add time gradually to avoid overcooking.
For extra lava vibes, slightly undercook and let the cake rest for 30 seconds before serving.
Top with Greek yogurt, berries, or a drizzle of nut butter if you want to dress it up.
