Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Lightly coat four ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and set them aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the low-fat dark chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and egg whites until well combined. Stir in the low-fat milk and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, stirring gently until fully incorporated.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding the mixture gently using a spatula until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers remain soft.
Remove from oven and allow the cakes to rest for 1 minute before running a knife around the edges to loosen.
Invert each ramekin onto a plate, tapping gently to release the cake.
Serve immediately for a delicious low-fat molten chocolate experience.
