Equipment

  • Cast-Iron Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
  • vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your brownie cooks evenly.
  • In your cast-iron skillet, melt the 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir gently until fully melted, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Add 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of dark brown sugar to the melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the lightly beaten eggs and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 3¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of instant espresso powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and ½ cup of creamy peanut butter until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Spread the brownie batter evenly in the skillet. For an extra touch, sprinkle more chocolate chips on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the brownie to cool in the skillet for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy this delightful Chocolate Peanut Butter Skillet Brownie!

Notes

  • Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
  • Replace all-purpose flour with almond flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
