• Boxed mix– spread the boxed brownie mix on a baking sheet like you would the flour, then mix in the milk and butter as we did in the regular instructions.

Step 1: Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to heat-treat.

Step 2: Add the butter to a microwave-safe bowl, then melt. Pour the butter into a large bowl and whisk in half of the chocolate chunks until smooth.

Step 3: Stir in the sugars, then the vanilla.

Step 4: Measure the cocoa powder and salt into a sieve. Add the flour, then sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until the batter is thick.

Step 5: ​Pour in the milk a couple of tablespoons at a time, then mix the batter with a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 6: Fold in the remaining chocolate chunks. Add your favorite mix-ins if desired.

Recipe Tips for the Best Brownie Batter

• The sugars make the batter a little grainy, which is very similar to traditional brownies.
• Adding the dark chocolate to the butter makes the batter richer.
• If desired, skip the step of melting the chocolate into the butter and add the cocoa powder and chocolate pieces at the end.

Fun Fact

Why do you have to heat-treat flour?

Raw flour may contain harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, which can cause foodborne illness. Baking the flour at a temperature of at least 160°F (70°C) for a few minutes will kill any bacteria present and make the flour safe to eat.

Why can’t you eat brownie batter with eggs?

Eating raw brownie batter that contains raw eggs can be unsafe because it can potentially contain a harmful bacteria (salmonella), which can cause food poisoning. When brownie batter is baked at a high enough temperature, the heat kills any bacteria that may be present in the raw batter.

How to store edible brownie batter?

Keep leftover brownie batter for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for 3 months. We like it best at room temperature.
