Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
⅓ cup butter, melted
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour, heat treated
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
3 to 6 tablespoons milk, as needed
¼ to ⅓ cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, optional
Directions
Start by heat treating the flour to make it safe to eat. Place the measured flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes until hot, or spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes. Set aside and allow it to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and whisk until smooth and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the cooled flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix until a thick dough forms. Pour in 3 tablespoons of milk and stir. Continue adding milk one tablespoon at a time until the batter reaches your desired consistency.
Fold in chopped chocolate or chocolate chips if using. Serve immediately or chill slightly if you prefer a firmer texture.

Storage/Reheating
Store edible brownie batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. The batter will firm up when chilled, so let it sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before eating to soften.
For longer storage, form the batter into a ball, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator, then allow it to soften at room temperature before serving. Reheating is not necessary or recommended.
