Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Can be substituted with coconut oil for dairy-free option
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Can be substituted with gluten-free flour blend
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips Optional, for extra flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your brownie has a perfect bake.
  2. Melt the Butter: In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. If you're using a larger cast iron skillet, make sure to adjust the quantities to maintain the right ratio of ingredients.
  3. Mix in Sugar: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Add the Egg and Vanilla: Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract, blending until smooth and creamy.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring until there are no dry streaks left. If you're feeling indulgent, fold in chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor!
Baking
  1. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the skillet and place it in the oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set but slightly soft in the center.
Serving
  1. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Top with ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh fruit!

Notes

If you happen to have any leftovers, store your Mini Skillet Brownie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop it in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. For longer storage, freeze pieces wrapped in plastic wrap for up to a month.
