Instructions
Step 1
Pour 3 cups of water in the pot. Spray the ramekins with nonstick spray.

In a small bowl, add the butter and chocolate chips, microwave for 30 seconds and stir to combine. Continue to microwave and stir in 15 second increments until fully melted.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light in color. Add the chocolate mixture and whisk until fully combined. Add the flour and continue to whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling 2/3rds of the way. Place the ramekins in the pot, in the water.
Step 5
Close the lid and move the slider to STEAMCRISP. Select STEAM & BAKE, set temperature to 285°F, and set time to 10 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 20 minutes as the unit steams, then the timer will start counting down).
