Ingredients

For the Main Batter:
* 1 cup all-purpose flour: Be sure to heat treat it by microwaving or baking to kill any bacteria.
* 12 cup unsweetened cocoa powder: Use a good quality, non-GMO, coco powder for the best flavor.
* 12 teaspoon salt: Balances sweetness and enhances the chocolate flavor.
* 12 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened: Make sure it’s properly soften so it creams smoothly.
* 34 cup granulated sugar: Adds sweetness and structure.
* 14 cup packed brown sugar: Adds moisture and a caramel-like flavor.
* 2 tablespoons of milk: Adds moisture and helps to bring the batter together. I tested this with almond milk and it actually made it even creamier!
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances all the other flavors.
* ½ cup chocolate chips: I like using semi-sweet, but you can use milk or dark chocolate depending on your preference.

What are the steps for

Step 1: Heat Treat the Flour

If you are using a baking sheet, spread the flour on tass and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or microwave it in the microwave. 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches 165°F (74°C). This step is crucial to kill any bacteria and make the flour safe to eat. Let it cool completely before using.

Step 2: Whisk Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside. This ensures that everything is evenly distributed and there are no clumps of cocoa powder.

Step 3: Cream Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light. Set aside. What is the best way to do this with an electric mixer? If you don’t have a mixer, you can do it by hand, but it will take longer.

Step 4: Combine

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix the batter, as this can make it tough.

Step 5: Add Milk and Vanilla

Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth. What should I do if my batter is thick and fudgy?

Step 6: Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips. I like to sprinkle a few on top for extra visual appeal.

Step 7: Chill (Optional)

For the best flavor and texture, chill the batter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. What is the best way to make a batter that is firm and creamy? I always skip this step!

Step 8: Serve

What’s your favorite way to serve brownie batter with graham crackers, fruit, or whatever you like? Is it good to use it in ice cream or cupcakes?

What should I serve it with?

How do I perfect my Brownie Batter?

What are some of the best tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years? How do I take brownie batter to the next level?

Flour Prep: Don’t skip the heat-treating step! It’s essential for making the flour safe to eat. Make sure the flour cools completely before using it in the recipe.

Mixing Advice: Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour and make the batter tough. Mix until just combined.

Ingredient Swaps:Can you use different types of chocolate chips? Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or even white chocolate chips are all good. Can you add chopped nuts, sprinkles, or other mix-ins?

Consistency Options: If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk until it reaches your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a little more flour.

Flavor Boosters: A pinch of espresso powder can really enhance the chocolate flavor. You can also add a tablespoon of peanut butter for a chocolate-peanut butter twist. I tried this a while back and it’s a flavor I’ll never forget. So delicious!

Sweetness Adjustment: If you prefer a less sweet batter, you can reduce the amount of sugar slightly. You can also use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit.

I messed up the heat-treating step once and ended up with a weird, gritty texture. Trust me, take the time to do it right! It makes all the difference.

Storing and Reheating Tips

So, you’ve made a batch of **edible brownie batter**, and somehow, you have leftovers (impressive!). Here’s how to store it to keep it fresh and delicious:

Room Temperature: I wouldn’t recommend storing it at room temperature for more than a couple of hours, especially if it’s warm. The butter can melt and the batter can become oily.

Refrigerator Storage: This is your best bet. Store the batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. The batter will firm up in the fridge, so you may need to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften it up.

Freezer Instructions: You can also freeze the batter for longer storage. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Glaze Timing Advice: Since there’s no glaze with this recipe, you don’t have to worry about this step. But if you were to make it with glaze, make sure you wait until the batter is close to serving before you add it.

I usually make a double batch and freeze half for later. It’s perfect for those emergency chocolate cravings!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes, you can! Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure it contains xanthan gum for the best texture.
