High-Protein Microwave Pistachio Lava Cake
A high-protein pistachio lava cake made in the microwave. Warm, gooey, naturally sweetened, and ready in under two minutes.
Servings 2 cakes
Ingredients
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup shelled pistachios
- ½ cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Instructions
- Add the Greek yogurt, pistachios, maple syrup or honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and baking powder to a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the batter into greased microwave-safe ramekins, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds.
- Microwave for another 30 seconds, then check doneness. If the edges feel set but the center is still soft, it is ready.
- If needed, microwave in additional 15-second intervals until the edges are firm and the center remains gooey.
- Serve warm immediately.
Notes
- Every microwave is different, so short bursts are key to keeping the center lava-like.
- Swaps: This recipe is naturally gluten-free as is! To make this dairy-free, use a dairy-free Greek-style yogurt alternative.
