How to Make Edible Brownie Batter
Be sure to see the recipe card below for full ingredients & instructions!
- Heat treat the flour in the microwave.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave.
- Beat together the butter, sugars, vanilla, and melted chocolate.
- Mix in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and milk.
- Stir in the remaining chocolate chips.
Generally speaking, raw brownie batter is not safe to eat due to the fact that it contains both eggs and flour, raw ingredients that can make you sick if they are not properly cooked. This recipe, however, is designed to be eaten raw and is safe to eat.
You can use any cocoa powder you prefer, as long as it is unsweetened. Use natural cocoa powder for a more natural taste, and use Dutch-process cocoa powder for a smoother taste.
Yes, you can make edible brownie batter with boxed mix, but you will also need to heat treat the boxed mix according to the instructions in step 1. Simply mix the heat-treated brownie mix with the butter, vanilla, chocolate chips, and milk, adding more milk as needed to get the correct consistency.
Flour is a raw ingredient and can carry dangerous bacteria that can give you food poisoning. By cooking the flour for just a few minutes, we eliminate the risk of food poisoning, making this dough safe for everyone to eat!
No! This recipe is designed to be eaten “raw” and would simply make brownie soup if you tried to bake it!
Yes! If you make your own ice cream, you can roll pea-sized balls of brownie batter and add them in during the last 5 minutes of churning (or fold them into no-churn ice cream!). If you want to add it to store-bought ice cream, just crumble some on top!
Whether you roll it into balls for an on-the-go snack or just dig in with a spoon, you’re going to LOVE this Edible Brownie Batter!
I like to top off my Edible Brownie Batter with sprinkles for a fun pop of color. You can use rainbow sprinkles of course, or make them a specific color to celebrate a holiday!
Storage Instructions
Store leftover edible brownie batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freezing Instructions
Freeze edible brownie batter in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to 2 months. I recommend rolling the batter into bite-sized balls before freezing so you can just enjoy one straight from the freezer!
Brownie Batter Mix-Ins
This edible brownie batter is endlessly customizable. Here, I used ½ cup of chocolate chips, but you could add in any mix-ins you love, such as:
- Cookie pieces (Oreos, Nutter Butters, Chips Ahoy, etc.)
- Sprinkles (rainbow or chocolate)
- Chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white chocolate)
- Chopped candy bars (Twix, Milky Way, Reese’s Cups, Snickers, etc.)
- Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, pistachios, etc.)
- Mini marshmallows
Tips for the Best Edible Brownie Batter
- Use nearly melted butter. It’s easy to incorporate and gives the brownie batter a soft texture.
- Use pure vanilla extract. Because this is a no-bake treat, you will absolutely notice the difference!
- Heat treat flour in bulk. If you plan to make edible brownie batter regularly, make a big batch of heat-treated flour and store it in an airtight container until you’re ready to use it.
- Salt. Add some flaky sea salt to this brownie batter just before serving. It really makes the flavors pop!
Edible Brownie Batter is the perfect treat when you want something quick, easy, and SO satisfying! It’s perfectly safe to eat, too, so you never have to worry about any eggs or flour making you sick. Just grab a spoon and enjoy bite after bite of this no-bake chocolatey treat!

Ingredients
- 1 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour 150 grams (see step 1)
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips 128 grams, divided
- ½ cup unsalted butter 115 grams, nearly melted (1 stick)
- ¾ cup brown sugar 150 grams
- ¼ cup granulated sugar 50 grams
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 50 grams
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons milk 28 grams
Equipment
- Kitchen Scale (optional)
- Instant Read Thermometer
- Fine-Mesh Sieve
- Hand Mixer
Instructions
- How to Heat-Treat Flour: Place 1 cup of all-purpose flour in a large microwave-safe bowl and cook on high in the microwave for 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the microwave, stir the flour with fork, and return it to the microwave to cook on high for an additional 1 minute. Put that fork in the sink to wash as you don’t want to reuse it with raw flour on it. Remove bowl from microwave and check temperature using an instant-read thermometer. The temperature of the flour should be 175°F or higher. If not yet 175°F, place the flour back in the microwave for another minute on high heat, then check again. Pour all heated flour into a fine-mesh sieve and sift into a new bowl. Use a spoon to push any chunks of flour through the strainer. There will be a few hardened pieces (looks like rice) left in the strainer – throw those pieces away.1 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour
- In a small bowl, microwave ¼ cup of the chocolate chips until melted. Start with 1 minute on high, then remove the bowl from the microwave and stir well. Continue heating in 30-second intervals (stirring between intervals) until the chocolate is melted.¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
