If you're the type who loves to lick the bowl clean of leftover brownie batter, but don't really love the thought of eating raw eggs, then this edible brownie batter recipe is for you! Made with simple ingredients and is gluten free & can easily be made vegan, this is the perfect way to satisfy your chocolate craving safely!
Mix butter & syrup. Whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
Mix dry ingredients. Add almond flour, cocoa powder and espresso powder to the same bowl. Whisk together to combine with the melted butter mixture.
Add the chocolate milk. Add chocolate milk to the bowl, whisking until smooth. If the mixture is a bit too thin, simply add more almond flour 1 tablespoon at a time. If it's too thick, add more chocolate milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it resembles smooth brownie batter.
Fold in chocolate chips. Using a spatula, fold the chocolate chips or any other add-ins into the brownie batter.
Sprinkle in the salt. If using, sprinkle in a pinch of salt, folding into the batter once more.
Notes
If the batter seems a bit too thick and crumbly, simply add a bit more chocolate milk. I recommend adding a tablespoon at a time until it is smooth like brownie batter. Alternatively, if it's too thin, add a bit more flour a tablespoon at a time.
If you are using all purpose flour, do not skip heat treating the flour. It doesn't take much effort and can be done by spreading the flour into an even layer on a cookie sheet. Pop it in the oven at 350F for 5 minutes. Be sure to allow it to fully cool at room temperature before proceeding with the recipe.
