Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 Tablespoons granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 whole large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional

  • 1 Tablespoon chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C) to prepare for baking your skillet brownie.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the whole large egg and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix. If you choose to use chocolate chips, fold them in gently now.
  6. Prepare Skillet: Pour the prepared batter into a 5-inch cast iron skillet or a small bread loaf pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull away slightly from the skillet and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie to cool in the skillet for 5 minutes. Serve warm, optionally topped with ice cream and your favorite sundae toppings for an extra indulgent dessert.

Notes

  • The brownie is best enjoyed warm for a gooey texture; refrigeration will firm it up.
  • Substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruits for different flavors and textures.
  • A 5-inch cast iron skillet is ideal for even cooking and presentation but a small loaf pan works well too.
  • Do not overbake; check early to avoid drying out the brownie.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace butter with coconut oil and use vegan chocolate chips if desired.
