A Double Chocolate Skillet Brownie for one! Gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-free, get ready to bake up a delicious chocolatey dessert right in your cast iron skillet! You can’t have too many brownie recipes and one you can eat with a spoon? There’s always room for that!
One of the first recipes I knew I had to make when I got my baby cast iron skillet this past Christmas was the ever-drool-worthy skillet brownie! I guess I’m starting a Christmas tradition of getting a new addition to the cast iron family every year! (That’s one I want to keep!) But I chose to share this double chocolate skillet brownie today for one special reason that almost feels like Christmas. Can you guess?
We are free for the summer! Today is my last final for the semester and then I’ll be a free woman again! Gluten-free vegan brownie in a lil’ skillet is just the celebratory treat I need! The thing I loved most about baking this brownie in a cast iron skillet was just how easy it was to mix, pour, bake, and then grab a spoon and literally dive in! It seems like a metaphorical soft-baked chocolate pool to me! The skillet is the pool lining, the brownie is the water, the spoon is the diver, and YOU choose how fast you jump 😉
And why is it double chocolate? We added chocolate chips of course! Now the pool party can get started! Melty chocolate chip blobs all throughout the soft chocolate cake! When you eat this warm right out of the oven (topped with some rice whip, vegan ice cream, or marshmallow fluff) you will be floating on a dreamy raft in chocolate island paradise! I know I’m ready for a cocoa vacation!
I wish I had plans for a chocolate paradise vacation getaway this summer, but a skillet brownie is all I have in my future, at the moment! I’m not complaining (too much) though, since chocolate is one fantastic reward for a year of college drudgery! (Or maybe I’m just trying to make myself believe that!) Regardless, this is one delicious gluten-free cast iron skillet brownie to enjoy by yourself…or with a friend! There’s something even more cozy about sharing it with someone you love. Unless your one true love is chocolate. Then you may just want the entire 6.5 inch brownie yourself and that is 100% okay with me!

Emily | Oat&Sesame
Congrats on finishing year 3!! Definitely worth celebrating with a double chocolate brownie! Cast iron skillets are the best. Growing up, I always wondered why my mom didn’t own any other pans besides cast iron! I think we should all have one dedicated to dessert making! 🙂 I have big plans this summer! A trip to Spain and a move cross country to Arizona! I’ll need a big brownie after that!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you!
I didn’t grow up with cast iron, but now….I’m making it the tradition of the family!
That will be one (exciting) whirlwind! Brownie it up!!
Anna
I love the idea of the skillet brownie! It’s not something I’ve tried before, but after seeing this, I’m so tempted to give it a go!
It looks just like a right size for me (and only me 😉 ).
Lovely work and thank you for sharing!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
The magic of a personal-sized cast iron 😉
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
I’m pinning this. 🙂
I still haven’t made any kind of cake in my new skillet. Well, when I say new I mean I got it for Christmas, lol
But anyway, this could be the one! 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Put that skillet to good use!!! (Extra birthday treating 😉 )
Erin
Yum, yum, yum! I’ve never heard of this type of flour. Will have to check it out next time I’m at the store.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Just a typical gluten-free flour favorite.

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Good call!
Kendel @ Little Misadventures
Oh my, that does sound like a chocolate pool of YUM. So good! I’m not usually a brownie fan, but I think I might have to (AKA definitely need to) convince my sister to try making this one day. You know, because she is a much more experienced baker than I am. It sounds too good to pass up!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, you don’t need experience to make this easy recipe 😛
Sus // roughmeasures.com
This looks right up my street! I am currently on a no sugar / starchy carb elimination diet for some health reasons, but will be making this once my three months is done!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
This is sugar free 🙂 And teff isn’t a starchy carb 🙂
Chanler Jeffers
This looks crazy yummy! Can’t wait to spoil my husband with this recipe!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Hopefully he’ll spoil YOU!
Julia
This brownie looks so delicious and fudgy! I only have a couple of tiny cast iron pans which I use for photos only. I used to have a grill cast iron pan years ago but I could never figure out how to clean it properly and it rusted.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I love shooting cast iron. They always look so fun and rustic 😉
Susie @ Suzlyfe
Just. Wow. Drool to the extreme!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, thanks! We all need to start our Mondays this way!
