Ingredients

For Brownie:

  • 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons (133 grams) brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons (45 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (22 grams) cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (127 grams) chocolate chips

Instructions

For Brownie:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray a 6.5-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish with non-stick spray or rub with softened butter. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine the melted butter and brown sugar. When fully combined add the eggs and vanilla. Beat until fully combined and light in color.
  • In a small bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk to combine and remove any lumps.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread around evenly. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
  • Remove from oven and enjoy while warm.

Notes

  • Add chunks of chocolate on top before baking. This will give you those incredible puddles of chocolate on top of the skillet brownie.
  • Don't overmix. You need to mix your batter until all of the ingredients are JUST combined, otherwise, you will make too much gluten and your brownie will be cakey instead of fudgy.
