Cast Iron Skillet
Microwave
2 Medium Mixing Bowls
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar I actually only used 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp REDMOND Real Salt
- 1/2 cup Sunbutter natural, creamy
- 2/3 cup plain or vanilla vegan yogurt soy, coconut, almond, etc
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz Enjoy Life semi-sweet dairy free chocolate chunks or morsels 5 oz to melt and 3 oz to mix in at the end. I omitted the extra 3 oz
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Preheat your oven to 350F and oil a 10-inch, well-seasoned cast iron skillet.
Mix together the flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt in a mixing bowl.
Separately, whisk together the sunbutter, yogurt, and vanilla.
Melt 5 ounces of the non-dairy chocolate chunks or morsels with the coconut oil in the microwave or over a double boiler. (For microwave place in a glass bowl and do 20-30 second bursts stirring in between)
Add a few spoons of the sunbutter/yogurt/vanilla mix to the melted chocolate to temper it. Stir. Add a few more. Stir. Then add the rest and combine well. 6) Combine wet and dry ingredients. The batter will be very thick.
(Optional) Fold in the remaining 3 ounces chocolate chunks or morsels.
Spread the batter into your skillet. Bake for 22 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges firm.
Remove the skillet brownie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
I used light brown sugar and since we don't really eat things that are super sweet, I only did 1/3 cup sugar and everyone in the house including the kids devoured these.
DON'T FORGET - cast iron skillets get and stay hot. I know this seems obvious, but I'm the queen of cutting and burning myself in the kitchen. So I always bring it up.
This will be a very thick batter. Don't think you need to add liquid to thin it out to the consistency of a normal brownie batter.
