Edible Brownie Batter

This edible brownie batter is my all-time favorite chocolate craving treat that I make in just 10 minutes using heat-treated flour, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and other pantry staples. The best part? This is a no-bake fudgy dessert without eggs that you can eat with a spoon.

It can be so hard not to lick the spoon when I am making Domino’s marbled cookie brownies. The chocolatey batter is seriously hard to resist before I even bake it! But as it contains eggs and unbaked flour, it can lead to an upset stomach.

That’s why I wanted to create an edible version similar to my healthy edible cookie dough I can enjoy with a spoon. And nothing beats this eggless brownie batter that I make with clean, natural ingredients! I guarantee you’ll fall in love with this recipe after just one bite! Yes, it’s that good!

🥘 Ingredients

With simple ingredients, I easily whip together this no-bake brownie batter to satisfy my sweet tooth! Here is the full list of ingredients:

Flour: This easy recipe calls for all-purpose flour that is heat-treated! Heat-treating flour is a way of removing the harmful bacteria that exist in flour, making it 100% safe to eat. Other types of flour, such as almond flour, oat flour, or coconut flour, are great gluten-free alternatives.

Brown Sugar, Maple Syrup, Salt: I prefer brown sugar for brownies because of the molasses that adds moisture and sweetness to the batter. You could also use coconut sugar or cane sugar. Maple syrup pairs nicely with the brown sugar for an extra boost of sweetness! Look for 100% pure maple syrup as the healthiest option. A pinch of salt will bring out the sweetness of this homemade brownie batter even more.

Butter: Use any unsalted butter for this recipe! For a vegan-friendly option, go for vegan butter, vegetable oil, or coconut oil.

Instant Coffee Granules: This is an optional ingredient, but I definitely recommend giving it a try! The instant coffee will bring out a rich chocolate flavor in this edible brownie dough.

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: I use unsweetened cocoa powder because the recipe is sweet enough.

Almond Milk: Almond milk is what I add to achieve the desired consistency of the edible batter. You can also try it with soy milk or coconut milk.

Chocolate Chips: Adding chocolate chips enhances the chocolate flavor and gives a contrast in textures to this edible raw brownie batter recipe. Chocolate chunks are equally delicious! You can leave them out if you want a milder flavor and less sugar.

🔪 How To Make

My edible brownie dough is easy and quick to make. It is the perfect no-bake treat when you have a chocolate craving and don’t want to spend forever in the kitchen. Here’s how I make it:

Heat Treat Flour: First, I heat treat the flour by microwaving it in a bowl, uncovered, on high heat for 1 minute. Whisk the flour to break up any lumps and let it cool to room temperature.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, I whisk together the brown sugar, melted butter, maple syrup, and coffee granules until smooth.

Mix Dry Ingredients: I whisk the cocoa powder, salt, and cooled flour in a bowl.

Combine Ingredients: Next, I add the melted butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Give the mixture a stir, add half of the almond milk, and stir again. If you prefer the batter to be a little thinner, add the remaining almond milk and stir until combined.

Fold And Serve: Lastly, I fold in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon and serve. I serve this fudgy edible brownie batter recipe with a scoop of ice cream or enjoy it on its own! You can serve it cold, at room temperature, or even warmed up. For easy fudgy brownies, you can even microwave this batter for one minute in a single serve mug. Enjoy!

📖 Variations

Considering how utterly delicious this edible brownie batter is, it is hard to make it better. But I have added some protein powder, made a vegan version, and turned the batter into cute little bites as possible variations.

Vegan Version: This is already an egg-free brownie batter, but to make it completely vegan-friendly, I simply use vegan butter and vegan chocolate chips.

Dough Bites: I turn this healthy edible brownie batter into cookie dough bites by reducing the almond milk to one tablespoon for a thicker consistency. Then, I chill the batter and roll it into bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet to chill for an hour before serving.

Protein Batter: I add in 1-2 scoops of unflavored protein powder to the edible brownie dough to give it a boost of protein and reduce the flour to 3/4 cup to keep the same consistency.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

I think the best way to eat edible brownie batter is with a spoon because it is so indulgent and irresistible it doesn’t need to be paired with anything else. However, a drizzle of something extra or sprinkled on top can elevate this sweet treat even further.

Fun Drizzles: Till now, I have only experimented with vegan caramel sauce to add something extra to my edible brownie bowl. But for an even more indulgent chocolate treat, my husband goes for vegan Nutella. Both sauces take minutes to prepare, which is perfect while the brownie dough chills. A drizzle of peanut butter, almond butter, or this white chocolate hazelnut spread are also great options.

Toppings: For extra flavor and texture, my kids like crumbling these healthy chocolate chip cookies over their edible brownie batter or crushed Oreos. I, on the other hand, go for vegan caramel popcorn, paired with caramel sauce for the ultimate chocolate caramel experience.

🧊 Storage Directions

Refrigeration: I store the leftover brownie batter in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days.

Freezing: If you plan to freeze the entire batch, I recommend separating it into smaller portions to make the defrosting process easier.

Reheating: Although you don’t need to heat up edible brownie batter, you can cook it in the microwave for 1 minute to make a warm brownie.
