Cast Iron Baked Brownies
Raise your hand if you love the taste of a warm, gooey, chocolately brownie?
If you raised your hand then you are in good company and in the right place because do I have THE brownie recipe for you.
This brownie recipe is one that my wife has made since we were married and it has fast become the more requested recipe of ours.
It is a go-to dessert when we bring dinner to friends or when we host a family gathering and let me tell you- no one has ever complained!
What’s great about this brownie is that it’s really simple, always turns out amazing and the flavors come together to make it truly the most chocolately treat that you can’t get enough of.
We love adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top with hot fudge, too.
This recipe can be made in a 9X13 glass dish in your oven- but we recently discovered that it turns out even better baked in a cast iron skillet. We baked ours in our Traeger but you could also put the cast iron skillet in your oven.
I know you’re dying for the recipe now. So here you go!

It looks like in the recipe it’s 12 cups cocoa. Is it supposed to be 1/2 cup instead???
Oh yes- thank you for the heads up. We’ve made the edit. Hope you enjoy!
Horrible recipe. Recipe calls for 18tsp. of salt. Assuming you had meant 1/8 tsp. Since another reader had noted a similar error with the cocoa powder, and you realized you had made the error, why would you not have checked the recipe? Children helping with the recipe were extremely sad because they followed your directions exactly. Waste of ingredients.
How should leftovers be stored? I have not yet used my cast iron to bake in, so I’m not sure what to do with the leftover brownies. Thanks!
What size is the cast iron skillet?
