- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Edible Brownie Batter
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread flour on a small sheet pan and place in the oven for 5 minutes to heat-treat the flour so that it is safe for consumption.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
In a large heat-proof mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave until fully liquefied.
Step 3: Add Chocolate
Place half of the chocolate pieces into the melted butter. Whisk until the chocolate melts completely and blends smoothly with the butter.
Step 4: Combine Sugars
Whisk in both sugars into the mixture. Note that it will appear grainy at this stage; that’s perfectly fine!
Step 5: Mix in Vanilla
Add in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor—whisk until well combined.
Step 6: Sift Dry Ingredients
Measure cocoa powder and salt into a sieve. Add your heat-treated flour and sift everything into your wet mixture. Stir gently to combine until you have a thick batter.
Step 7: Adjust Consistency with Milk
Gradually add milk—two tablespoons at a time—mixing with a wooden spoon until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 8: Fold in Chocolate Chunks
Finally, stir in remaining chocolate chunks for extra indulgence. Enjoy your deliciously rich edible brownie batter!

Common Mistakes to Avoid
When making edible brownie batter, it’s easy to overlook a few key steps. Here are some common mistakes to avoid for the best results.
- Skipping heat-treating the flour: Always heat-treat your flour before using it. This step makes the flour safe to eat raw and enhances the flavor of your edible brownie batter.
- Not melting chocolate properly: Ensure you melt the chocolate fully with the butter. If not melted enough, it can create a grainy texture in your batter.
- Ignoring ingredient temperatures: Using cold milk can cause clumping. Always let your ingredients come to room temperature for a smoother batter.
- Overmixing the batter: Mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense texture instead of the light, fudgy consistency you want.
- Using unsweetened cocoa powder incorrectly: Make sure to measure your cocoa powder accurately. Too much can make your batter taste bitter.
