Ingredients
Scale
Skillet Blondie Batter
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup almond butter
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Skillet: Set your oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 or 10-inch cast iron skillet thoroughly to prevent sticking and to help with browning.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, granulated sugar, and almond butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Whisk the room temperature eggs and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients and Fold in Chocolate: Stir in the all-purpose flour and salt until just combined. Then gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a few to press onto the top of the batter later for a beautiful finish.
- Spread Batter and Bake: Evenly spread the batter in the buttered cast iron skillet. Press the reserved chocolate chips into the top. Bake for 28 minutes or until the edges are set and starting to turn golden, but the center remains slightly soft. Avoid overbaking for a moister texture.
- Serve Warm or Cooled: Enjoy the blondies warm straight from the skillet with ice cream or allow them to cool completely before slicing into 8 pieces for serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure better mixing and texture.
- Pressing some chocolate chips on top before baking gives an attractive, melty chocolate finish.
- Do not overbake; the blondie is best when the edges are slightly golden and the center is just set but still soft.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
- This recipe is scalable; use a smaller skillet for fewer servings or adjust baking time accordingly.
