Variants:
Nut-Free Version: If you have a nut allergy, substitute almond flour with coconut flour or oat flour. You may need to adjust the liquid slightly as coconut flour absorbs more moisture.

Mint Chocolate: Add ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract to the batter for a refreshing twist that complements the chocolate flavor.
Caramelized Version: Top the dessert with a sugar-free caramel sauce for a delicious, indulgent finish.
