    ingredients to make edible brownie batter.
    • butter
    • granulated sugar
    • brown sugar
    • milk
    • vanilla
    • heat treated flour (follow our super easy directions below)
    • salt
    • cocoa powder
    • chocolate chips

    See recipe card for quantities.

    How to Heat Treat Flour

    Raw flour can often be the culprit for food poisoning, so it's important to first heat treat the flour to 165* F to kill the pathogens. You can do this 2 different ways.

    1. In the microwave: Heat in 3 30 second intervals, stirring in between each one.
    2. In the oven: Preheat oven to 350*F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread flour on it. Bake for 5 minutes then use as normal.

    Instructions

    creamed butter and sugar in a bowl.

    2. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a bowl and hand mixer, beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar on high until light and fluffy looking, about 2 minutes.

    3. Add the vanilla and 2 Tablespoons of the milk. Mix on high for about 90 seconds until silky smooth. This step is important to dissolve the sugars.

    milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, flour, salt and cocoa powder combined in a bowl.

    4. Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt and stir by hand or mix on low until well combined. Add more milk (if you want!) until desired consistency is reached.

    5. Stir in the chips! We like to use mini chocolate chips and chocolate chunks or chopped up chocolate for a variety of sizes. Store in the refrigerator- the edible brownie batter will thicken as it cools.

    Hint: When adding the dry ingredients, I recommend putting the cocoa powder in the bowl first, then the flour and salt. This will prevent the cocoa powder from flying everywhere as badly when it's mixed.

    Substitutions

    • Gluten Free - use coconut flour instead of all-purpose flour, but use half as much.

    Variations

    • Peanut Butter Edible Brownie Batter - add peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips, and chopped peanut butter cups instead of chocolate chunks.
    • Caramel Brownie - add caramel bits instead of chocolate chunks and swirl in 2 Tablespoons caramel topping (don't mix in! Just swirl it in) right before serving!
    • Marshmallow Brownie - use miniature marshmallows instead of chocolate chunks and swirl 2 Tablespoons marshmallow creme or topping in right before serving.
    • Chocolate Strawberry - add some chopped strawberries then swirl in some thick strawberry preserves.

    Storage

    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. We do not recommend freezing this.

    Top tip

    Make sure to take your time mixing in the vanilla and milk. This step ensures the sugars are dissolved and that it isn't grainy or gritty.

      Made this edible brownie batter when I had company over and had to quickly make another batch, but I tripled it. Then we still ate it all. So good. I'll make this recipe again for sure. We had fun trying different things in it like caramel and coconut.
