    Ingredients

    ingredients to make edible brownie batter.
    • butter- I used salted, you can also use vegan butter here
    • granulated sugar
    • brown sugar - light brown for this recipe
    • milk- I used 2%, any percent is fine. You may also use almond or other milk
    • pure vanilla
    • heat treated flour (follow our super easy directions below)
    • table salt
    • cocoa powder
    • chocolate chips- this could be chips, chunks or anything you want!

    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.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • Quick and Easy - Is there anything better than a sweet treat that is super quick and easy? This comes together quickly like normal brownie batter, then you get to skip the baking.
    • Kid Friendly - this is an obvious hit with children, and more than that an older kid could make this by themselves, and younger kids will love to help make this one and will be able to do most of with just some guidance.
    • Party Friendly - I love taking this to a party with some pretzel rods and strawberries! It looks beautiful and people love taking it and dipping into it or just eating it by the spoonful.
    • Simple - we love simple desserts and this one is truly simple to make, and uses simple ingredients
    • Fun and Versatile - this really is fun little dessert and the possibilities with it are endless (check out our variations below for a bunch of fun ideas).
    • Easy to make Allergy Friendly - Since it doesn't get baked, this is simple to make allergy friendly! Use plant based milk and butter for a dairy allergy, and gluten free all purpose flour for gluten free.

    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.
    • Vegan- this can be made vegan by using vegan milk of your choice and plant based butter.
    • OREO - stir in chopped OREOs, Nutter Butters or any other of your favorite cookies.
    • Nutty - stir in chopped nuts of choice. We recommend walnuts and/or almonds.
    • Mint OREO - use ¼ teaspoon mint extract instead of the vanilla (or more to taste) and stir in crushed mint OREO at the end for a fun and yummy treat.
    • Orange - If you're anything like me, you love chocolate orange things! Add ½ teaspoon orange extract or orange emulsion. You could also stir in some orange sticks candy.

    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.

    What is Heat Treated Flour?

    It is flour that has been heat treated. The Easiest way is to microwave in 3- 30 second intervals on high, stirring between each one. Or spreading out on a parchment lined baking sheet and baking at 350°F for 5 minutes. Use as normal.

    Is it Safe to eat Brownie Batter?

    Technically the flour and eggs are unsafe to eat in brownie batter. This recipe is egg free and uses heat treated flour (easy to make!) so it is safe to eat.

    Can I use boxed brownies to make Edible Brownie Batter?

    Yes! You'll need to heat treat the mix first. Then melt ¼ cup butter per 1 cup of brownie mix. Mix it in along with milk until the desired consistency is reached.

      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.
