Gluten-Free Mini Chocolate Cakes

I love chocolate cake. I always have and always will. Double chocolate, triple chocolate, death by chocolate… the point again is that I love chocolate. Sometimes though you have to be healthy, and this includes making dessert a bit healthier.

I am not a fan of many “healthy” desserts or foods at the grocery store. Either it has no flavor, it is dry or doesn’t taste anything like what it says it is supposed to be.

I say go against all that and make your own version of a cake that is yummy but much healthier than pounds and pounds of butter and white sugar that is in regular yummy cake 🙂 This version is also gluten free which is an added bonus to the the gluten sensitive of the world. I got my inspiration for these cakes from Allrecipes.com version but changed a few things. I also used a different brand flour.

The end result was a chocolatey, dense, moist cake that is perfect with some fresh jam or all natural peanut butter! Enjoy!
