Description

This Small Batch Peanut Butter Brownie Skillet is a quick and easy dessert perfect for satisfying your chocolate and peanut butter cravings. Made in a cast-iron skillet, it features a rich, fudgy brownie with peanut butter chips and optional chocolate chips, yielding a gooey, indulgent treat ready in just 20 minutes. Perfect for two servings, this recipe combines simple ingredients to create a decadent dessert that can be enjoyed warm with ice cream or sliced once cooled.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1 egg (60g)
  • 7 Tablespoons granulated sugar (110g)
  • 3 Tablespoons neutral oil (like vegetable or canola) (35g)
  • 6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour (55g)
  • 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (20g)
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt
  • ½ cup peanut butter chips (80g)
  • 2 Tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch cast-iron skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and granulated sugar for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is light in color and pale yellow. This step is important to incorporate air and create a slightly lighter texture. Add in the neutral oil and whisk until fully combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, fine salt, peanut butter chips, and semi-sweet chocolate chips (if using) into the wet mixture. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter. The batter will be thick and dense. Reserve a few chips to sprinkle on top.
  4. Bake the Brownie: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared cast-iron skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved peanut butter or chocolate chips over the surface. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains gooey and fudgy.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes if enjoying warm with ice cream right out of the skillet. Alternatively, let it cool completely for firm slicing and serving. Enjoy your decadent peanut butter brownie skillet treat!

Notes

  • For best results, use a well-seasoned 8-inch cast-iron skillet to bake the brownie evenly and prevent sticking.
  • The batter is thick, so folding gently is key to maintain a fudgy texture.
  • You can substitute peanut butter chips with chopped peanuts or peanut butter swirl for variation.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and warmed before serving.
