INGREDIENTS
Below are useful notes about some of the ingredients for this edible batter. See recipe card below for full list of ingredients.
- Cocoa powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder gives this batter its chocolatey taste.
- Milk: I recommend using whole milk for best flavor.
- Flour: I use all-purpose flour. The flour is heat treated to kill off any existing bacteria. This step is option but recommended. You can heat treat flour in the oven or the microwave.
- Salt: Salt helps balance out the sweetness. It also brings out the chocolate flavor!
SUBSTITUTIONS & VARIATIONS
- Gluten free flour: Instead of all-purpose flour, use gluten free flour.
- Milk: For an even richer brownie batter, swap out the milk for heavy cream. To make this vegan, use vegan milk.
- Chocolate chips: Instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, use white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, mini chocolate chips or even chopped chocolate!
- Candy: M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups would all be delicious!
- Sprinkles: Use your favorite sprinkles to make this treat extra fun!
- Chopped cookies: Add some chopped or crushed cookies.
- Nuts: Just like in regular brownies, nuts are also delicious in brownie dough! Add chopped almonds, walnuts or pecans!
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
The instructions below will tell you how to make edible brownie batter. See recipe card below for full list of ingredients and measurements.
Step 1: Heat treat the flour. Heat treating the flour is a precautionary step to kill off any existing bacteria. It is option but recommended. Microwave the flour in a bowl for 90-120 seconds or spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Melt the butter on the stovetop or in the microwave. Whisk in the sugars and vanilla extract.
Step 3: Stir in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder and salt. Add 4 tablespoons of milk. Add more milk by the tablespoon, if needed, until the edible brownie batter is the consistency you like.
Step 4: Stir in the chocolate chips or other add-ins and enjoy!
Hint: Heat treated flour should be 165°F.

RECIPE FAQs
Regular brownie batter that you make when making brownies is not safe to eat because it contains flour and eggs. This recipe does not contain eggs and is made with heat treated flour, so it is safe to eat.
This recipe makes about 2 and a half cups. For a single serving, you can make the recipe and save the rest for later. You’ll love having it in the fridge! You can also divide the recipe for a single serving!
Yes you can! It’s a good idea to heat treat the boxed mix the same way you would heat treat flour. Add the heat treated boxed brownie mix to the melted butter then add the milk and chocolate chips.
EXPERT BAKING TIPS
Tip #1: Let flour cool. Allow the flour to cool completely after heat treating it.
Tip #2: Add milk or flour if dough is too thick or too thin. Add more milk if the dough is too dry. If the dough is not thick enough, add an extra tablespoon of flour. Make these adjustments until the dough is the consistency you like.
Tip #3: Set out toppings. Divide the batter up into individual servings. Set toppings out so that everyone can add their favorite toppings!
