Salted Caramel Molten Chocolate Pots

Jump straight to the recipe → "To be honest, I think bananas are a pathetic fruit" - Andy Murray (Hitting Back, 2008) Baking with whole grains is one part of this healthy eating thing that I have been studiously ignoring. White wheat flour makes the best cakes. FACT. The absence of gluten in most alternative flours more often than not results in cakes that are dense and heavy, or dry and overly ...
