Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs + 2 yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Chocolate & Sugars

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, divided (1 cup + 1/2 cup)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, vegetable oil, and 1 cup of chocolate chips over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and pour into a heat-proof mixing bowl. Let it cool for 5 minutes to avoid cooking the eggs in the next steps.
  2. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy release after baking.
  3. Whisk: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Slowly incorporate this egg mixture into the warm chocolate mixture, whisking constantly to blend thoroughly.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, salt, and optional espresso powder to the chocolate and egg mixture. Stir gently until the batter is almost fully combined, leaving just a few streaks of flour visible.
  5. Add Remaining Chocolate Chips: Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips carefully, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing the batter.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cast iron skillet and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, adjusting the time based on your preferred brownie texture—less time for gooier brownies, more for firmer edges.
  7. Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the brownies cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream for a perfect dessert experience. Enjoy your skillet brownie!

Notes

  • Please ensure the butter and chocolate mixture is cooled before adding the eggs to prevent curdling.
  • Using a cast iron skillet helps achieve a nice crust while keeping the interior moist and fudgy.
  • Adjust baking time depending on your oven and desired fudge level.
  • Espresso powder is optional but enhances the chocolate flavor without making the brownies taste like coffee.
  • Let brownies cool slightly to make slicing easier and to allow flavors to set.
