Instructions

Preheat the oven to 330°F (165°C).
In an oven-safe skillet or pot, mix the peanut butter, oil, applesauce, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and sugar until the mixture comes together.
Add the flour and stir gently until just mixed to avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spread the batter evenly in the skillet and swirl extra peanut butter on top for a marbled effect.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing, or enjoy warm straight from the skillet with a spoon.

Notes

Use almond butter instead of peanut butter for a flavor variation.

Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top after baking for a gourmet touch.

To make it gluten-free, use oat flour or certified gluten-free all-purpose flour.

Add chopped nuts or a swirl of jam for extra texture and flavor.

Store covered in the skillet or in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.

Reheat individual slices in the microwave or the whole skillet in a 300°F oven.
