This brownie skillet is perfect for lovers of chocolate and peanut butter! Peanut butter is swirled throughout a chewy, gooey brownie before baking and serving with vanilla ice cream. Wonderful!
Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• Optional: Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the skillet: Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Melt the butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals until fully melted.
Mix wet ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
Incorporate dry ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the wet ingredients mixture. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add peanut butter: Gently fold in the creamy peanut butter until it's swirled into the batter, but not completely mixed in.
Fold in chocolate chips: Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter and gently fold them in.
Transfer to skillet: Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and serve: Allow the skillet brownie to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Enjoy: Indulge in the gooey, chocolate goodness of your chocolate peanut butter skillet brownie!
