Nature's Heart Skillet Chocolate Brownie
By Nature's Heart
Published on 25 April 2022
This is the ultimate recipe for fudgy skillet chocolate brownie for two. Not only is it vegan, but it’s also gluten-free and made with whole-food ingredients. You can bake it either in a skillet (a cast-iron frying pan, so it can go in the oven) or a large ramekin or small casserole dish. When you pull it out of the oven you’ll love the shiny crackly top and the warm, melted chocolate centre. The difference between this brownie and the non-skillet versions is that the pan makes it ideal for eating hot, straight out of the oven. Serve with vanilla ice cream.Time and servings
