Olive Oil Skillet Brownies
These Olive Oil Skillet Brownies are wonderfully fragrant and rich with chocolatey flavor. They take almost no time at all to make and go great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt.
Ingredients
- 180 g (6 oz) 70% dark chocolate chopped
- 125 ml (½ cup) extra-virgin olive oil plus more for greasing
- ½ tsp espresso powder
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 150 g (¾ cup) granulated sugar
- 100 g (½ cup) light brown sugar packed
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 90 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 12 g (2 tbsp) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 10-inch (25.4 cm) cast iron skillet with olive oil.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Heat in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between. You can also use a double boiler.
- Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, add the olive oil and espresso powder. Whisk until well combined then set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the eggs and both sugars on medium-high speed for 3 minutes until pale and thick. Mix in the salt and vanilla.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture and mix on low speed until glossy and well combined.
- Sift the flour and cocoa powder over the bowl and fold with a silicone spatula until combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared skillet and gently smooth out the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes (ours are done at 28 minutes) until the top is shiny and it's cracked around the edges. A cake tester inserted into the center should have a few fudgy crumbs attached.
- Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For fully dairy-free brownies, be sure to use a dairy-free chocolate.
- Storage: Keep them in a well-sealed bag or airtight container and store them at room temperature for up to 4-5 days.
