For the Base

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 4 oz. dark chocolate bar (chopped and divided)

For Flavor

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt

For Consistency

• 6 tablespoons whole milk

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!

• Melt chocolate properly: Make sure the chocolate is fully melted and mixed well with the butter to achieve a smooth consistency.
• Adjust milk gradually: Add milk slowly until you reach your desired thickness; this prevents the batter from becoming too runny.

Best Side Dishes for Edible Brownie Batter

5. Caramel Sauce: Sweet caramel sauce offers an irresistible flavor combination when paired with brownie batter.
6. Coffee or Espresso: A cup of coffee enhances the chocolate flavors, making it an ideal companion for this dessert.

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.
