Here’s a delicious dessert to make! You can’t go wrong combining chocolate AND peanut butter 😉 *Please note: This dessert is meant to be eaten right out of the cast iron with your kids and or loved one.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp espresso powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup peanut butter morsels
- Cooking oil spray (I always use coconut oil)
- Optional garnishments: 1 tbsp melted peanut butter, scoop or so of vanilla ice cream, or sprinkle of chocolate chip morsels.
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, lightly spray with cooking oil a 8 inch cast iron or 11 inch by 6 by 3 inch oval cast iron dish.
In a medium microwavable bowl melt the butter and then to the butter add sugars and vanilla and give it a mix. Next, whisk in the eggs and incorporate thoroughly. Then add the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt and give that a good whisk until combined (do not over mix). Lastly, fold in the peanut butter morsels and pour into your cast iron dish; baking for 15-18 until edges get slightly crispy; you still want the center to be a little under baked. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish if you like with a big scoop of ice cream, drizzled with melted peanut butter and a few chocolate chips. Enjoy warm!
