This easy Edible Brownie Batter offers rich, chocolatey, fudgy goodness without the risks of raw eggs and untreated flour. With basic pantry ingredients, it comes together in about 10 minutes, eliminating the need to resist the temptation of indulging in brownie batter bliss!
Start with heat treating the flour. Place the flour on a baking sheet and bake it for about 10 minutes at 180C / 356F. Then let the flour come back to room temperature before using it. You can also heat treat the flour in the microwave. However, it is more difficult to judge the temperature of the flour when using the microwave, so the oven method is recommended.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water over low-medium heat or in the microwave.
In another bowl, whip together the butter and both sugar with the help of an electric hand mixer for about 5 minutes.
Whip in the melted chocolate and milk. Then whip in the vanilla extract.
Sift in flour, salt, and cocoa powder, and fold the mixture together.
Finally, mix in the chocolate chips
Store refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring it back to room temperature before serving.
Notes
INGREDIENT NOTES
Always use unsalted butter in dessert recipes to be in control of the saltiness. However, make sure you add the salt stated in the recipe as it will balance the sweetness.
The quality of the chocolate chips along with the quality of the cocoa powder will define the taste of your edible brownie batter, so try to use high-quality ingredients eg. dark chocolate from Lindt or Callebaut and Dutch processed cocoa powder.
TECHNIQUE NOTES
A digital scale is required for a consistent, happy baking experience.
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave so it doesn't burn.
By adding more or less milk you can change the texture of the batter.
