Ingredients needed to make a gluten-free brownie skillet

The ingredients needed for this delicious gooey and fudgy banana brownie recipe are all wholesome, clean, and really good for you! You will need:

Wet Ingredients

Ripe Bananas or Pumpkin Puree

Ripe bananas are naturally sweet, so you don’t need much more additional sugar.

If you choose to use pumpkin puree, you can either use a homemade version (recipe here), or store-bought. Make sure you pick pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie puree.

Almond Butter
For nuttiness, gooeyness, and moisture. I prefer a smooth almond butter like this one.

Eggs
To bind and make the brownie moist, use room-temperature eggs. 

Dry ingredients

Cacao Powder
You can use unsweetened cocoa powder as well if that’s what you have on hand.

The color will be lighter if you choose to use cocoa powder.

Chocolate Chips
Both on top and in the batter. Does anyone else agree with the more the better when it comes to chocolate?

Coconut Sugar (Optional)
If you are using really ripe brown bananas I don’t think you necessarily need to add any sugar. But sometimes, when I really crave something sweeter or the bananas aren’t sweet enough, I will add 2 -3 tbsp of coconut sugar to this banana brownie recipe.

However, pumpkin puree is not sweet enough for this recipe. So you are using pumpkin puree, add 1/3 – 1/2 cup coconut sugar.

Baking soda
Baking soda just to give the eggs a little help in puffing up the brownie skillet.

Sea Salt
A sprinkle of salt in the batter will enhance all the chocolate flavor. I wouldn’t be mad if you sprinkled some flakey sea salt on top as well.

How is this Brownie Skillet Flourless

What started as an accident resulted in the best kind of brownie. 

Once I simply forgot to add almond flour to my brownie and halfway through baking time I realized my mistake. But you know what?

It might have been the best brownie I had made to that day! 

So simply put, brownies (most of them) don’t need any flour! Especially if you like a gooey brownie like I do, you can most likely skip the flour.

Not using any flour only makes this rich and decadent dessert even denser and gooey, which is exactly what we want in a brownie!

How to make Cast Iron Skillet Brownies

Now grease a cast iron skillet.

Tips on making the best gooey ooey brownie skillet

This recipe is so easy to make that I almost want to call it fool-proof.

Here are a few tips to make the best brownie skillet!

1. Under-bake the brownie skillet for an ooey-gooey result.
2. Use room temperature eggs. The batter will mix better, the brownie will bake more evenly, and the bake time will be more exact. 
3. Swirl some nut butter after pouring the batter into the skillet. It will look so pretty! 
4. Sprinkle some flaky sea salt on top, it really compliments the chocolate brownie so well.

Some Ideas to enjoy this chocolate brownie skillet

Doesn’t it look so festive to serve the decadent brownie straight out of the skillet? 

And of course, there are so many ways you could serve this rich and gluten-free dessert.

Some of my favorite ways are:

• Serve the brownie skillet warm with a few scoops of vanilla ice cream
• Drizzle more nut butter and chocolate chips on top
• Drizzle with melted chocolate or maple syrup
• Enjoy the brownie skillet with a big glass of cold milk
• Sprinkle some powdered sugar and/or whipped coconut cream
• For a refreshing dessert, serve with whipped full-fat yogurt and fresh raspberries

Storing Brownie Skillet (without the Skillet)

For convenient reasons, this brownie skillet will be best served when it is still warm and straight out of the skillet.

However, you can store this brownie in the fridge for up to 5 days – if these amazing brownies can last that long… 

And yes, you can freeze it too! I would suggest that you first try to take it out from the skillet and individually wrap portion-sized pieces in plastic.

To defrost, heat the individual brownie pieces in the microwave for 30-40 seconds or let them thaw on the countertop for 10 to 20 minutes. 

Now, let’s start baking!
