- 3/4 cup granulated sugar: Adds the perfect touch of sweetness to balance the rich cocoa.

How to Make Edible Brownie Batter Recipe
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Start by assembling every ingredient so you have everything on hand before mixing. This helps the process go smoothly and ensures no ingredient is forgotten. Having it all ready also means less mess and stress!
Step 2: Melt the Butter
Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 30-second increments until completely melted. Be sure to let it cool slightly before mixing it with the dry ingredients to avoid accidentally cooking the batter or clumping the sugar.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar until fully blended. This step is essential for an even distribution of chocolate and sweetness throughout your batter.
Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients Into the Dry
Slowly pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly until everything is combined. Don’t worry if there are a few small lumps here and there — that just means extra fudginess!
Step 5: Fold In Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are well distributed. This little addition is what transforms simple batter into a bite full of chocolate surprises.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Scoop out generous spoonfuls into bowls, cups, or even straight from the mixing bowl. No baking necessary — just dig in and enjoy this decadent treat that tastes just like brownie batter should.
How to Serve Edible Brownie Batter Recipe
Garnishes
To make your edible brownie batter even more irresistible, consider adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top to contrast the sweetness or a light dusting of powdered sugar for a pretty finish. Fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce also make wonderful add-ons to elevate the experience.
Side Dishes
This brownie batter pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a quick no-bake dessert. If you want something refreshing, a handful of fresh strawberries or banana slices on the side offers a delightful fruity balance to all that chocolate richness.
Creative Ways to Present
Have some fun and serve the batter in mini mason jars or pretty dessert glasses layered with whipped cream for a fancy look. You can also use it as a dip for pretzels or sliced apples — the salty crunch against the sweet chocolate will surprise and delight your taste buds!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftover edible brownie batter (though it’s hard to stop eating once you start!), keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days without losing any of its gooey goodness.
Freezing
This batter freezes well if you want to prepare in advance. Portion it into individual servings, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and place in a freezer-safe container. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator for the best texture.
Reheating
Because this is raw batter meant to be eaten cold or at room temperature, reheating isn’t necessary. If you do prefer it a little warmer, leave it out for 15–20 minutes to come to room temperature, but avoid microwaving as it could change the texture.
FAQs
Is this edible brownie batter safe to eat?
Yes! The key to safety here is using heat-treated flour, which kills any bacteria, and no raw eggs are included. This recipe is designed specifically for safe raw consumption.
Can I use a different type of flour?
All-purpose flour is recommended because it holds the batter together nicely and has a neutral flavor, but you must heat-treat any flour before eating it raw. Whole wheat or gluten-free flours may alter the texture and require adjustments.
Can I make this vegan?
Absolutely! Substitute the butter with a plant-based margarine or coconut oil, and use vegan chocolate chips. The texture will be just as luscious and the flavor just as satisfying.
How long does this batter last in the fridge?
When stored properly in an airtight container, this edible brownie batter will stay fresh for up to 3 days without any change in flavor or texture.
Can I add mix-ins?
Definitely. Feel free to experiment by adding chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for a unique twist on the classic brownie batter flavor.
