What I knew was that I would be making some sort of skillet cookie or brownie to break my new iron pan. Maybe call myself an iron baker? ha

- Yield: 8 servings 1x
Print Recipe
Pin RecipeDescription
A good dark chocolate, cut into uneven chunks works best here, but chocolate chips can beused. The flavor of ice cream is up to you.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 14 Tbs scant 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 Tbs peanut butter
- ½ cup salted peanuts
- 4 oz semisweet chocolate (cut into uneven chunks)
- Cinnamon ice cream ( see recipe here)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF / 180ºC.
- Heat an 8-inch cast iron skillet over low heat for 1 or 2 minutes. Add butter, and when it’s half melted, add sugar and mix with a whisk.
- Add eggs and mix quickly. Remove skillet from the heat. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix carefully, and then mix in vanilla.
- Stir in peanuts, and add mounds of peanut butter and chocolate chunks. Mix it just a few times to marble, but not too much or the chocolate will all melt.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until top is dry but center is still somewhat wet.
- Remove from the oven. Serve with scoops of cinnamon ice cream.

Wow, These look incredibly decadent and so yummy! Anything with peanut butter is a hit in my house! Have a great week, Paula!
My..Paula, this is one of the best blondies I have seen in a long while. I don't even own a cast iron pan…need to get one!
Paula, cinnamon is my very favorite spice of all times and I have been trying and tasting different kinds from different companies and origins – so this recipe would be just about perfect right now to use some of this lovely spice sitting in my cupboards – pure decadence!
Have a lovely Sunday, Paula and save me some of that heavenly dessert, please!
This looks phenomenal Paula!! I think so I ll just go and get some ice cream so that I can enjoy it now with your blondie.
If you ever come here I d make sure that you get to see all kinds of spices and qualities and then of course you would end up traveling with 10 kg spices as I do. 😉
Oh the way you describe it is making my mouth water and the pics are not helping one bit 🙂 Looks absolutely decadent and its the perfect indulgent treat after any meal 🙂
Wow – this looks amazing, and gives one all sorts of ideas on how to make brownies with no mess! I, too, discarded my mother's cast iron pan and regret it so much. I love using mine for corn bread, especially, and pot pies… ~ David
I have an endless list of things to do now on that poor skillet, cornbread included!
*droool* I love baking in my cast iron, it gives things such a nice crispy crust. This recipe just looks amazing… plus ice cream? I'm dying over here!
Oh, yum, Paula!!! My family is in love with skillet cookies…and yours looks marvelous…especially topped with melting ice cream. And I'm so glad to see a few of us going the cinnamon and dessert route 🙂 I'm in good company!!!
PS…I have a feeling you don't fit the heroin smuggler profile!
Always a dessert lover, I find the gooey cookie and melting ice cream just irresistible! I am hoping my mother will let me take her cast iron skillet home one day soon. It is too heavy for her to use and languishes in her pantry just waiting for the next recipe.
Sooo happy to have these 2 recipes, Paula. They absolutely look and sound scrumptious. I kept checking your site to see when this #SundaySupper contribution was up…and now I feel like a kid on Christmas!
P.s. LOL regarding the customs bit with the cookbooks and bottles =)
Sounds delightful. I adore blondies and love the pairing of cinnamon and peanut butter. Pinning!
Oh my that looks delectable!
My mother has a massive iron pot and pan collection and I guess I'll get it someday, perhaps when I am more settled and don't have to pack it up to move along every few years. She has offered me a couple over the years but with the weight allowance I could never bring them home with me.
Your cinnamon blondies look wonderful, Paula! I am imagining that peanut butter helps make them extra chewy. My daughters would adore them. Pinned to my Recipes to Try board!
OMG I wish I had some of this right now. I think I'd eat the entire skillet!! I love blondies, and love adding peanut butter to my baking adventures. This is perfect.
Just when I thought blondies couldn't get any better!
Oh my Paula, I could just dive into your awesome skillet!!
I've had blondie brownies on my mind for a week! These look incredible. And toasted cinnamon ice cream? yummmmm
Oh goodness, this looks so delicious.. I love the cinnamon mixed in with the peanut butter. Some of my favorite peanut butter is cinnamon swirl, so this is going to be a winner. Can't wait to try! Thanks!
Oh. My. Gosh. Paula! Those photographs are sooooo beautiful! Not to mention the recipe. I must try this! Congrats on your new skillet. It took me a long time to try cast iron too, and now I wonder what took me so long.
Oh my gosh, Paula, I could cry because this looks so good! I think this is the very picture you had tempted me with a week or so back on FB, no? So glad to finally have the recipe! I actually prefer blondies to brownies and so pretty having this baked in a skillet! Beautiful photos! : )
