Camping Dessert: Skillet S’more Brownies

Bake this decadent ooey-gooey camping-inspired s’more brownies recipe in the oven or on the grill. A fun and delicious dessert for kids of all ages!

It’s almost summer and that means camping season! Growing up, we spent a lot of time camping with family and friends. I always looked forward to being on the boat and, of course, evenings around the campfire.

We do less camping than we used to, but having evening fires, whether it’s in our own backyard or at the lake, is a summer highlight. Good company, along with a cocktail (or two) and s’mores, are quintessential memory makers!

To celebrate the onset of camping or “glamping” season, I thought I’d share an easy skillet dessert you can make on the grill or in your oven. Ooey-gooy chocolate, marshmallows and graham wafers in spoonable form. When it comes to camping desserts, what could be better?

Skillet S’more Brownies

(see printable version below)

Dry ingredients:

¼ cup cocoa powder
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup flour
⅛ cup almond flour
½ tsp. salt
¼ cup chocolate chips

Wet ingredients:

⅓ cup melted butter
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Toppings:

3-4 large graham wafers broken into pieces
4 oz. dark chocolate cut into chunks
8-10 large marshmallows cut in half crosswise

Tip: To make things easier, combine dry ingredients and place in a jar or container to take with you camping.

Preheat oven or grill to 350 degrees F. Grease 10″ cast iron skillet with coconut oil or butter.

Place dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix in eggs and vanilla. Gradually add melted butter, stirring until well combined. Pour batter into skillet and top with graham wafer pieces.

Bake for 20 minutes until slightly firm on top. (Do not overbake)

Tip: If cooking on the grill, watch your temperature gage to make sure it doesn’t get too high. Avoid peeking or the heat will escape. I find it works best to have only the front and back heat sources on while baking on the grill.

Remove brownies from the oven or grill. Turn heat up to 400 degrees F.

Top brownie with marshmallows cut side down. Sprinkle chocolate chunks on top. Place back in oven or grill for 5-7 minutes until marshmallows turn golden brown and the chocolate is soft.

Tip: Use broiler or torch if you prefer your marshmallows to be darker. Watch closely!

Serve warm.
