Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 Tablespoon honey
Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar
- Whipped cream
- Extra strawberries, sliced
- Strawberry syrup
- Chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Place the butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet and put in the oven to allow the butter to melt. Turn on the oven to 400 degrees F. (Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn).
- Meanwhile in a blender, place the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, milk and vanilla. Blend for 30 seconds or until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
- Add the eggs and blend another 30 seconds. Set aside. (If you do not have a blender, simply whisk the ingredients together in a bowl).
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced strawberries, butter and honey. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture starts to form a syrup, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the oven with oven mitts. Tilt the skillet so the butter coats the entire bottom and sides of the pan. Carefully pour the batter into the skillet. Next, spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and the center is set.
- Serve warm with desired toppings.
