One-Pan Stovetop Chocolate Brownie
Ingredients
- Chocolate: 100g semi-sweet chocolate (melted)
- Eggs: 2 large eggs
- Milk: 1/2 cup (whole or oat milk works best)
- Flour: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Cocoa Powder: 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- Sweetener: 2 tbsp sugar or maple syrup (optional, depending on how dark your chocolate is)
- Topping: 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep the Pan: Grease a small non-stick or cast-iron skillet with a little butter or oil. Place it over low heat.
- Mix: Pour your melted chocolate into the pan. Add the eggs, milk, flour, and cocoa powder.
- Whisk: Using a silicone whisk (to avoid scratching the pan), stir gently until the batter is smooth and glossy.
- Top: Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- Cook: Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid. Keep the heat on the lowest setting possible. Cook for 12–15 minutes.
- Rest: Turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes to firm up.

Pro Tips
- Control the Heat: The biggest risk is burning the bottom. Use the smallest burner on your stove and keep it at a “whisper” of a flame.
- The Lid is Key: Using a glass lid helps you monitor the rise without letting the steam escape. The steam is what keeps the brownie moist!
- Don’t Overcook: A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs—not completely dry.
Variations
- The “Actually Healthy” Version: Swap the all-purpose flour for almond flour and use honey or stevia as the sweetener.
- Salted Caramel: Add a pinch of sea salt and a swirl of caramel sauce before putting the lid on.
- Nutty Crunch: Stir in 1/4 cup of crushed walnuts or pecans for texture.
The Result
You’ll end up with a brownie that has a dense, fudgy texture—somewhere between a traditional baked brownie and a lava cake. The bottom should be slightly crisp while the center remains incredibly moist and gooey.
