Perfect for Valentine’s Day or special occasions. A few other Valentine’s Day recipes I love making for the occasion are Homemade Chocolate Cake, Mixed Berry PieVanilla Bean Panna Cotta and Chocolate Crepes with Strawberries. You can also check out this full list of Valentine’s Day recipes.

My daughter makes soufflés all the time, and actually made the ones pictured here. They are not hard to make, so don’t be intimidated. They should be eaten right away or they typically fall after 5-10 minutes so if you are serving these to guests, plan to eat them right out of the oven. I love topping mine with a heaping spoon of cool whip.

  1. These are so light and fluffy! My boyfriend and I halved the recipe to make two soufflés. The only substitutions we made was using Swerve instead of sugar snd coating the ramekins with butter instead of cooking spray. Delicious! The banana flavor overpowered the chocolate flavor a little more than I would’ve liked, but still incredible! We will definitely be making these again! 

  2. We are having a friend over who is gluten and dairy intolerant, and can’t have sugar. She can have maple syrup though. I have been combing the internet for gluten/dairy free desserts, and this one looks amazing. Would it work to substitute maple syrup for the sugar?

  3. You have these tagged as “low carb”, yet they are 23.5g of carbs per serving. On what are you basing your “low carb” indications?

  5. I am loving your recipes! I do have one question. My husband is a fan of chocolate and peanut butter. Suggestions on using that instead of or in addition to the banana???

  6. Hi, Gina. Oh, how I love your blog! I made these souffles last night and loved them, but how would I change the recipe to make it just chocolate, without the bananas?
    Thank you SO MUCH for all your wonderful recopes!

  7. Made them today with a friend. She had never made a souffle before and she wanted to try it. As a chef I thought this recipe was great and easy to follow for the home chef. My friend will be making them again soon!
