Or you can use gluten-free all-purpose flour, bread flour, or cake flour and still follow our instructions to heat treat it before making the brownie batter.
Sugar. To make an amazing brownie batter, we recommend that you use a mixture of granulated sugar and light brown sugar.
Cocoa powder. If you are able, we recommend using Dutch cocoa powder for this recipe. However, if you are not able to find it, regular cocoa powder will work as well.
Salt. You can use any type of basic salt for this recipe. Salt such as iodine salt, kosher salt, or sea salt all work well.
Butter. We recommend using salted butter that is been softened to room temperature for the best results for making edible brownie batter.
Vanilla extract. A little bit of vanilla extract or imitation vanilla will help to flavor your brownie batter.
Milk. We recommend using a little bit of whole milk or heavy cream to moisten the brownie batter.
However, if you wish to use another type of milk, any of your favorite types may be substituted.
You could even replace the milk with freshly brewed coffee for an enhanced chocolate flavor.
Chocolate. Our preference is to use a bit of melted dark chocolate chips along with some mini chocolate chips in the brownie batter. You could also use chocolate chunks or your favorite type of chocolate.
How to Heat Treat Flour
Before we begin, it’s important to point out that it is of the utmost importance that you heat treat any wheat flour before making the edible brownie batter. Heat-treating the flour is what makes the brownie batter edible.
There are two main ways you can heat treat the flour. Those are by using the oven, or in the microwave.
Heat Treating Flour in the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Then take a rimmed cookie sheet and measure out your flour. Pour the flour into the rimmed cookie sheet so that it is evenly distributed. If needed, tap the cookie sheet against your countertop to distribute the flour.
Place the cookie sheet containing flour into the oven for approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Use a food thermometer to read the temperature of the flour. It must reach at least 165°F for the flour to be safe to consume.
Once the temperature is reached, remove your treated flour from the oven, and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Heat Treating Flour in the Microwave
Begin by pouring your flour into a microwave-safe bowl. Place the bowl into the microwave, and microwave for 30 seconds at a time stirring in between with a whisk until the internal temperature of your flour reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
The time this takes may very, but it typically takes between one and two minutes for your flour to be heat treated in the microwave. Once the flour is heated to 165°F, remove it from the microwave and allow it to cool.
Now that you know the two main ways to heat treat your flour in order for it to be safe to eat, let’s begin looking at how you can make a delicious edible brownie batter.
Step By Step Instructions
How to make edible brownie batter from scratch
Step 1: Prep the flour
Begin by measuring your flour, and heat treating it either in the oven or microwave until the flour reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. Once the flour is warmed to 165°F, allow it to cool before adding it to your recipe.
Step 2: Make the brownie batter
We recommend using a stand mixer, but you can mix this recipe by hand if needed as well. We do not recommend that you use a handheld mixer as the batter may be too thick for it to handle.
Into a mixing bowl add your heat-treated all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until combined. Next, mix in your room-temperature salted butter, vanilla extract, and enough milk to make it moist.
Then in a microwave-safe bowl add your dark chocolate chips and microwave for 30 second increments stirring in between until your chocolate chips are melted.
