This edible brownie batter is easy, delicious, and takes 10 minutes to make! It’s rich, fudgy, and a perfect way to satisfy that brownie dough craving. The options for toppings are endless too!

I am pretty much obsessed with edible dough. My edible sugar cookie dough is on repeat in my house, along with my favorite fudgy brownies. So I decided why not combine the concepts to make an edible brownie dough!

Since traditional brownie recipes have raw eggs and raw flour in them, it would not be safe to eat the raw batter. This brownie batter is eggless and the flour is heat treated, so it is safe to eat! The flour is heat treated, which takes just a couple minutes and ensures it’s 100% safe to eat.

What I love about this recipe too is that is can also be divided into single portions or you can just grab your spoon and dig in!

Ingredient Notes

ingredients in bowls for edible brownie batter
  • Butter: You can use regular butter or vegan butter. Measure the butter before melting it.
  • Milk: You can use any milk you’d like in this recipe. Regular dairy milk, cream, or any vegan milk will work.

Fun Mix In Ideas

What I love about this edible brownie batter is that you can make it differently every time and it’s also so fun for kids to make! You can divide the prepared brownie batter (without mix-ins) between a few small bowls, set out a bunch of different mix-ins, and let the kids choose their own toppings!

Here are a few other fun ideas:

  • Chop up your favorite cookies and mix them into the batter (I like to use Oreos or graham crackers!)
  • Top the batter with sprinkles!
  • Chop up a chocolate bar (I love this dough mixed with peanut butter cups) and toss it with the brownie batter
  • Drizzle chocolate sauce or melted peanut butter on top
  • Take two cookies (like sugar cookies) and sandwich a scoop of the brownie batter between them to make a cookie sandwich
  • Mix in chopped walnuts or other nuts!

Heat Treating Flour

To heat treat flour, measure out the amount in the recipe plus some extra (around 1/3 cup for this recipe will work), then microwave it in a bowl for 1-2 minutes. You can also pour it onto a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes at 350°F.

Heat treating your flour will kill off any harmful bacteria that might be growing on it and could potentially make you sick. Once the flour has been heat treated, it is safe to eat so I strongly recommend not skipping this step, especially if serving the brownie batter at a birthday party or other gathering!

Boxed Mix Option

To make the recipe even quicker, you can used boxed brownie mix. The boxed mix should still be heat treated though.

Then just melt the butter, stir in the boxed brownie mix and add in milk until the consistency looks right. You can then add in other mix-ins as well. If you have an allergy, just be sure to read the ingredients on the boxed mix as not all boxed brownies are dairy free/allergy-friendly.

Featured Reader Review

“Great recipe! I used boxed brownie mix and just measured out the equivalent of the cocoa powder and flour used. Also used almond milk and it works great.”

Expert Tips

  • After you’ve heat treated the flour, let it cool before adding it to the bowl with the wet ingredients.
  • If the dough seems too crumbly, you can add a bit more milk, and if you accidentally add too much milk, just add another tablespoon of flour to the dough! Since it isn’t being baked, the recipe is forgiving.
  • Because this is a no-bake recipe, the batter can have a bit of graininess from the sugar (just like the taste of regular brownie batter). This will be the case will any edible dough that uses sugar. It doesn’t bother me but if you want it to be less grainy you can chill the dough and it will reduce the graininess a little bit.
  • If you want to divide these up into single serving jars, these glass jars work great.

Notes

HEAT TREATING FLOUR: Flour is technically not completely safe to eat until it has been heat treated. Heat treat around 1/3 cup more flour than the recipe calls for, as there will be less flour in the bowl after it has been heated.
MILK: You can use any kind of milk for this recipe! Start with 3 tbsp of milk, then add in more milk until the batter is at your desired consistency.
CHOCOLATE and ADD-INS: Feel free to get creative! I used mini dark chocolate chips and chopped chocolate, but you also add in sprinkles, crushed up Oreos, chopped peanut butter cups, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, or even chopped nuts.
Storage Instructions: Brownie batter should be stored covered in the fridge for up to one week. It will be firm right out of the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, let the batter soften at room temperature for around 20 minutes at room temperature.
To freeze the batter, form it into a large ball or a few smaller balls. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap then place them in a ziploc bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Let thaw in the fridge for a few hours then finish thawing at room temp.
