Add all ingredients except chocolate chips to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Stir in half of the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter evenly into your ramekins and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool slightly and enjoy warm — straight from the ramekin with a spoon!
Tips & Variations
No chocolate chips? Try chopped nuts, fresh berries, or a swirl of peanut butter or Nutella.
Make ahead: Bake and refrigerate. Reheat in the air fryer at 325°F for 4–6 minutes until warm and slightly crisp on top or in the microwave for 30 seconds with a splash of milk.
For toddlers: Skip the added sweetener and cut into soft chunks.
Storage
Store any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. These taste even better after a day or two in the refrigerator.
