Made with peanut flour, these are low carb and gluten free and AMAZING!
For the cakes, preheat the oven to 280F and grease 8 (or more) cups of a regular muffin pan.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter and chocolate together over low heat and stir until smooth. Add erythritol and Stevia and stir until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut flour and cocoa powder, breaking up clumps with the back of a fork. Add the chocolate mixture and stir to combine (will be very thick). Stir in eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the almond milk until mixture thins out somewhat and becomes a smooth batter.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins. Because the batter is quite thick, you will need to press the batter into the cups using the back of a spoon. Smooth the tops.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cakes are just set and the middle is firm to the touch. Allow to cool in the tins, then flip out onto plates for serving.
For the glaze, melt butter, peanut butter and chocolate together in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth. Spoon over cakes and sprinkle with chopped peanuts for garnish. You can serve immediately, with the glaze still warm or let it set.

A couple of questions:
1) Where can I get peanut flour? I cannot find it at any of my local grocery stores, not even those with specialty food departments
2) Can I substitute almond flour for the peanut flour? Almond flour is available at most of my local stores.
3) Are there acceptable substitutions for the Stevia extract and Erythritol Sweetener? Although I can find those ingredients in a specialty grocery store, they are very expensive.

I’m interested in this recipe…looks so delicious! But I have a question….why a 280 degree oven? Also, what component of the recipe makes it “hard”? Thanks for clarification!
