Ingredients & Substitutions
These are the main ingredients and their substitutions. See recipe card below for full recipe and instructions.
Gluten free to 1 to 1 flour or all purpose flour can be used. This flour is heat treated, making it safe to eat.
Refined coconut oil has a neutral flavor, whereas unrefined has a slight coconut flavor. If not dairy free, use melted butter.
Granulated sugar sweetens this edible brownie batter. Coconut sugar can be substituted for a refined sugar free version.
In addition, maple syrup adds a great natural sweetness. Replace maple syrup with honey if desired.
Cocoa powder provides the chocolate flavor.
Any type of milk can be used. For nut free, use coconut milk, cow’s milk or oat milk.
Lastly, any type of chocolate chips or chocolate chunks work well.
Taste & Texture
This edible brownie batter is rich, decadent, and filled with chocolate. It tastes very similar to raw brownie dough.
The texture is a little thicker than boxed brownie batter. Typically, brownie batter is somewhat thin. I purposely made this a little thicker so it is edible with a spoon.
How To Make
Step 1
First, heat treat flour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Spread flour onto lined pan. Bake for 5 minutes. Then remove from oven.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, add melted coconut oil and sugar. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Next, add in heat treated flour and all remaining ingredients except chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Then, fold in chocolate chips. Serve!
Paleo Version
Here is a Paleo friendly version of this edible brownie batter. It tastes very similar, but it is Paleo and grain free.
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup coconut oil
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- dark chocolate chips to garnish
Here are the instructions.
First, add dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe dish. Melt in 30 second increments, stopping to stir between each.
Once smooth and creamy, add to a large mixing bowl.
Next, sift in almond flour and cocoa powder. Stir to combine.
Then, stir in maple syrup and almond milk.
Once combined, add additional chocolate chips if desired.
Refrigerate batter for 20 minutes for best results. Once chilled, serve!
Expert Tips & Tricks
Heat treat the flour. This kills off any bacteria that may be in the bag of flour. Heat treating flour to 160 degrees Fahrenheit is considered safe to eat by the FDA.
Stir the melted coconut oil and granulated sugar until mixed. This allows the sugar to dissolve in the coconut oil.
This edible brownie batter tastes best as soon as it is made.
Unlike regular brownie batter, this version is not thin and runny. This enables you to eat it with a spoon. Feel free to add a little more milk for a thinner batter. Then it becomes more like a creamy brownie dip!
How To Serve & Store
Serve immediately. It goes well with a tall glass of milk. Dip in pretzels or crackers!
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Variations & Add Ins
This recipe is great as is, but consider add these add ins.

Drop of mint extract

Chopped pretzels
Sprinkles
Chopped nuts

this is so delicious. I cant stop eating it! 🙁
I can’t resist the deliciousness of this edible brownie butter. Every time I made this, it was just a blink of an eye for my kids! I love the balance of sweetness in it! This recipe is a must-try!
It’s like brownies on turbo speed; these are SO good! I felt like a big kid when I made these, it’s like getting to lick the bowl but the bowl is FULL lol. Perfect!
I made this using butter in place of coconut oil since it’s what I had on hand. YUM! Reminds me of my childhood and all the times I had to sneak licks of brownie batter when my mom wasn’t looking.
I tried out the paleo recipe you have and it was amazing, still so decadent and with the salty pretzels I had with it…it was the perfect combo.
I just made this brownie batter, and it is so rich and delicious!
Love this recipe!
Can this be frozen and then defrosted later on?
Thank you! I haven’t tried freezing it, but it shouldn’t ruin the recipe at all.
