This Microwave Biscoff Lava Cakes recipe is ideal when following any of the larger diet plans such as Weight Watchers or counting calories.
NHS guidelines suggest men should aim for 2,500 calories per day to maintain a healthy body weight, and women require around 2000 calories. Each person has different calorie requirements depending on their goal, so you may want to adjust your daily calorie intake according to your own personal goal.
Step 1
Grease 4 x 125ml ramekin dishes with a little extra reduced fat spread.
Step 2
Place the self raising flour, sweetener, Biscoff spread, reduced fat spread, eggs and caramel flavouring in a medium mixing bowl. Beat together for 1 – 2 minutes using an electric whisk or wooden spoon until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Divide the mixture between the 4 ramekin dishes. Drop a teaspoonful of Biscoff spread into the centre of each.
Step 4
Place all 4 ramekins on the microwave turntable, evenly spaced apart. Cover loosely with cling film and cook on high for 1 1/2 – 2 minutes. Check on the cakes after about a minute and continue cooking if needed. The cakes will be ready when they’re risen and spongy but still runny in the centre. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then remove the cling film.
Step 5
Dust with a little icing sugar and serve at once. Serve alone, or with a swirl of reduced fat aerosol cream or a little custard.

Hi,
I was wondering which low fat spread you use and which caramel flavouring, as I suppose different makes will produce different results
Thanks in advance

Hi Michelle, we used Flora Light and Foodie Flavours Caramel Flavouring, although there are other brands available that should work just as well. Hope this helps.
