Step-by-step
- In a medium bowl add 3/4 cup melted butter, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, cocoa, 1 cup flour and 1 cup rolled oats.
- Mix until just combined and then press into the bottom of a prepared 12inch cast iron skillet.
- Place skillet into 375 degree oven for 10 minutes. (Convection oven 350)
- While that is baking (and using the same bowl) put remaining melted butter, remaining brown sugar, remaining flour, remaining oats and remaining baking soda in bowl and stir until combined.
- When time is up, remove skillet from oven.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot cookie.
- Pour caramel sauce over chocolate chips. (Can reduce amount to 3/4 cup if you prefer; I like a lot of caramel)
- Press cookie mixture over the top of the caramel sauce. Be careful as the skillet is still very hot.
- If any of the caramel is showing it may burn and turn dark brown, so I try to cover up as much as possible. Usually this means grabbing small handfuls of the cookie mixture and pressing it a bit, then laying it on top of the caramel carefully.
- Repeat until completely covered.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes more. The edges should be darker, but not burnt.
- Allow the carmelita to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Can be stored at room temperature in an air tight container.
The Ultimate Comfort Food: My Skillet Brownie Carmelita Recipe
Let me tell you about my absolute favorite dessert – a skillet brownie carmelita that’s so ridiculously easy to make, yet tastes like it came straight from a fancy bakery. I discovered this recipe a few years ago, and it’s become a staple in my home, a crowd-pleaser at every gathering, and a personal indulgence when I need a little pick-me-up. The gooey, caramel-laden interior is a beautiful contrast to the slightly crisp edges, and the aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water. This recipe isn't just about baking; it’s about creating a moment of pure, delicious joy. It's comforting, rich, decadent...everything a perfect dessert should be.
I’m a busy working mom, juggling a demanding career and the never-ending tasks of family life. Finding time for elaborate baking projects is often a challenge. That’s why I adore this recipe so much. It’s simple enough for a weeknight treat but impressive enough to serve at a dinner party. The secret, I think, lies in the contrast of textures and the generous dose of caramel. It's the perfect balance of sweet and salty, soft and crunchy. You simply can’t go wrong.
The beauty of this recipe is its adaptability. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips – milk chocolate, dark chocolate, even a mix! You can also adjust the amount of caramel sauce to your liking. Some people prefer a more subdued caramel flavor, while others, like myself, enjoy a generous, almost overwhelming, caramel-to-brownie ratio. The best part is, this dessert is even better the next day! The flavors meld together beautifully, creating an even richer and more intense taste experience. So don't hesitate to make a batch ahead of time. The simple act of baking this brownie carmelita has become one of my favorite self-care rituals. It’s a way to unwind after a long day and reconnect with something creative and delicious. And the joy on my family’s faces when they see this skillet of pure goodness? Priceless.
