Edible Brownie Batter Recipe

To make this brownie batter edible, we will exclude eggs and heat-treat the flour to make it completely safe to eat. This recipe is also great because you can include any of your favorite mix-ins like chocolate, peanut butter chips, caramel, or whatever else your heart desires!

Ingredients for Brownie Batter

  • All Purpose Flour – We will heat-treat the flour to make it perfectly safe to eat.
  • Melted Butter – The melted butter gives us the perfect brownie batter texture.
  • Brown Sugar
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Milk – The milk will replace the liquid that we usually get from eggs in regular brownie batter.
  • Vanilla
  • Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder – This is my FAVORITE dutch processed cocoa. However, you can use regular unsweetened cocoa powder if needed.
  • Salt
  • Chopped Chocolate – You can either chop a chocolate bar or use chocolate chips – whichever you have on hand will work great.

How to Make Edible Brownie Batter

  1. Begin by heat-treating the flour (this is what makes it safe to eat). Measure out the flour into a microwave safe bowl.
  2. Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds to heat treat the flour.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until mixed thoroughly.
  4. Next, whisk in the milk and vanilla.
  5. Now fold in the heat treated flour, cocoa powder and salt and mix until a brownie batter forms.
  6. Finally, fold in the chopped chocolate (or your other favorite mix-ins).
  7. Enjoy!

    My son loves brownies so when I saw your recipe I had to try it. It was delicious. We both loved it. My son even asked if this could be baked so I have an individual brownie square pan so I filled one and baked it at 350F for 20 minutes and we were both surprised it worked. What a fun recipe!

    Delicious! A lot of edible cookie doughs don’t get the right texture but this edible batter was amazing. Eating it from the fridge reminded me of eating a cosmic brownie (so next time I might put in mini M&Ms to chase that feeling!)
