This rich and fudgy skillet brownie is made in one bowl and baked in a 10 inch cast iron skillet. Serve it warm from the oven with scoops of vanilla ice cream! It's the ultimate shareable dessert for Valentine's Day, date night, or just because!
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10 inch cast iron skillet with vegetable oil. Set the pan aside.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt butter, oil, and chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments. Whisk until smooth.
½ cup unsalted butter, 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 ounces semisweet chocolate baking bar
Add both sugars and whisk until well combined.
1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar
Add vanilla and eggs and whisk vigorously until well combined and the mixture become lighter in color.
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 3 large eggs
Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt and fold into the sugar until mostly blended.
¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder, ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
Add the chocolate chips and fold into the batter with the last bits of the flour mixture.
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Spread the batter into the prepared skillet. Top with a few extra chocolate chips (optional).
Bake for 30-35 minutes. The top should no longer appear glossy, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter. Let the brownie rest for 5 minutes before digging in!
