Description
This edible brownie batter is a rich, fudgy, no-bake dessert made without eggs and with heat-treated flour for a safe-to-eat, indulgent chocolate treat. Perfect for quick cravings, party snacks, or customizable single-serve desserts.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup melted butter (regular or vegan)
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or white whole wheat flour)
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3–6 tablespoons milk (regular or vegan), as needed
- ¼–⅓ cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Heat treat the flour by microwaving it in a bowl for 1–2 minutes or baking on a sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, whisking until fully combined.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Add the cooled flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
- Stir in 3 tablespoons of milk, adding more 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired creamy consistency.
- Fold in chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, if using. Enjoy immediately or chill slightly for a firmer texture.
Notes
- Ensure flour is cooled completely after heat treating to avoid melting the chocolate or clumping the batter.
- Use vegan substitutes to make this fully dairy-free.
- Chilling the batter slightly reduces graininess from the sugar.
- Mix-ins like nuts, sprinkles, or peanut butter add texture and variety.
- For cookie sandwiches, scoop between two sugar cookies and chill before serving.
