Edible brownie batter is made with simple ingredients, takes 5 minutes to prep, and is the perfect treat to satisfy your chocolate craving when it hits!
Normally we make traditional homemade brownies, caramel brownies or peanut butter brownies. When I made a microwave brownie in a mug, it kind of had me craving just the batter. So I came up with an eggless version that is totally safe, and of course, the kids loved it!
Another easy dessert recipe that we can’t get enough of is Booty Dip. I know the name sounds crazy, but it was a viral TikTok recipe that is definitely worth the save. If you are making these treats for kids they will also like cookie monster ice cream and Oreo balls.
🍫 Ingredients:
- flour – we used all-purpose.
- butter – go with unsalted butter if possible. If you use salted, you may want to omit the other salt.
- chocolate bar – we like the big chunks, but you can also use chocolate chips.
- sugar – you’ll need white and light brown sugar.
- vanilla extract – adds a hint of vanilla.
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- salt – deepens the flavors.
- milk – we used whole milk.

Optional Garnish:
Serve chocolatey edible brownie batter with fresh berries, sweet cookies, graham crackers, a scoop of ice cream, or just eat by the spoonful!
Equipment Needed:
Sieve – so we can sift the dry ingredients in and reduce the lumps.
Variations and Substitutions:
- Mix-ins – you can customize this edible brownie batter dip any way you would like. Some popular options include peanut butter chips, cookies, nuts, espresso powder, protein powder, or sprinkles,
- Brownie batter bites – portion the batter into small cubes or balls and freeze until you are ready to eat or mix into ice cream. You can use an ice cube tray for convenience.
- Vegan edible brownie batter – Use vegan butter and plant-based milk such as coconut milk or almond milk.
- Flour – feel free to swap the flour for a gluten-free all-purpose version or almond flour to make the edible batter a little healthier.
- Boxed mix – spread the boxed brownie mix on a baking sheet like you would the flour, then mix in the milk and butter as we did in the regular instructions.
🔪 Instructions:
PREP: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step 1: Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to heat-treat.
Step 2: Add the butter to a microwave-safe bowl, then melt. Pour the butter into a large bowl and whisk in half of the chocolate chunks until smooth.
Step 3: Stir in the sugars, then the vanilla.
Step 4: Measure the cocoa powder and salt into a sieve. Add the flour, then sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until the batter is thick.
Pro Tip: Sifting the ingredients keeps it smooth and less lumpy considering it is already a little grainy with the sugars.
Step 5: Pour in the milk a couple of tablespoons at a time, then mix the batter with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 6: Fold in the remaining chocolate chunks. Add your favorite mix-ins if desired.
SERVE: We like the batter at room temperature with berries as a dip or with ice cream for the ultimate treat!
Recipe Tips for the Best Brownie Batter
- The sugars make the batter a little grainy, which is very similar to traditional brownies.
- Adding the dark chocolate to the butter makes the batter richer.
- If desired, skip the step of melting the chocolate into the butter and add the cocoa powder and chocolate pieces at the end.
Fun Fact
Did you know that walnuts are the most popular when it comes to mixing other items into the batter?
Recipe FAQs
Raw flour may contain harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, which can cause foodborne illness. Baking the flour at a temperature of at least 160°F (70°C) for a few minutes will kill any bacteria present and make the flour safe to eat.
Eating raw brownie batter that contains raw eggs can be unsafe because it can potentially contain a harmful bacteria (salmonella), which can cause food poisoning. When brownie batter is baked at a high enough temperature, the heat kills any bacteria that may be present in the raw batter.
Keep leftover brownie batter for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for 3 months. We like it best at room temperature.

Hii,
It tastes great but I made a portion for 1 person and it turned out really weird. I seems like the program can’t go lower than 1/8 of something so the 2 person portions seems correct but it gets a bit weird when it goes to 1 person.
So the minimal is 2 portions to have a correct recipe.
Lots of love, Lara

I love it but when I added the milk it made it to runny for my liking so next time I won’t add the milk but it’s super delicious
