Vegan Peanut Butter Lava Muffins | Aromatic Vanilla Cake

Just a few years again I had seen peanut butter lava truffles pop up just a few instances on Pinterest and mentioned to myself, I’ve to make these.  They only regarded too good to not strive making. In fact those that I had seen had been in no way vegan, filled with sugar, dairy and eggs.  However that was going to be simple to vary so far as I used to be involved.  I’m fairly assured on the subject of revamping truffles as a result of I make so lots of them. Quick ahead to now, I’m nonetheless making my Vegan Peanut Butter Lava Muffins and actually they’re one in every of my all time favourite recipes!  I simply determined that I wanted to re-photograph them and replace just a few tweaks to the recipe I’ve made (that make them easier to make and higher).

These are a moist chocolate cake sweetened with dates, and they’re truly oil free, I usea small quantity of my handmade peanut butter as an alternative of the same old oil and it really works good.  I additionally use entire wheat pastry flour which is one thing I at all times have available for the flour.  I embrace my handmade peanut butter within the filling and I don’t sweeten it, as a result of the cake already was candy (for those who like issues actually candy nevertheless be at liberty to whisk in a bit maple syrup).  I additionally embrace vegan chocolate chips inside these truffles to make them additional gooey and chocolaty.

These truffles are sooo freaking good!  Every time I make them, they’re gone very quickly, since I like chocolate and peanut butter a lot. Sharing desserts like this makes me pleased.  Should you do not assume that vegan desserts may be as scrumptious as non-vegan ones, it is advisable strive these Vegan Peanut Butter Lava Muffins, they may win over even the largest skeptic!
