Mix in raw sugar and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk warm almond milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients.
Combine everything to make a thick, smooth batter. Please don't overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared ramekins.
Place the chocolate chips or squares in the middle of the batter. Gently push them in the center of the batter till completely submerged.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes at 180C.
Let the ramekins cool for 5 minutes. Then carefully run a paring knife around the edges to loosen the cakes.
Place a serving plate on top of the ramekin and immediately invert. Tap the plate a bit, and the cake will slide out automatically.
Dust with cocoa powder ( optional) and serve with a scoop of icecream. Enjoy!
