Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • Make sure to heat treat it—see note below for how.
  • ½ cup unsalted melted butter
  • You can melt the butter in the microwave.
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • Adds a deeper, caramel-like sweetness.
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • Helps balance the texture and sweetness.
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Use good-quality cocoa for rich brownie flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Use any kind—dairy, almond milk, or oat milk work well.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Brings out the chocolate flavor.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Just enough to make the chocolate pop.
  • ⅓ cup chocolate chips
  • Mini or regular size. Optional, but highly recommended.

Optional Substitutions:

  • Almond flour – Use in place of all-purpose flour to make it gluten free and skip the heat-treating step.
  • Coconut flour – Use sparingly about ¼ of the amount, as it absorbs more liquid.
  • Vegan butter or coconut oil – For a dairy free or vegan brownie batter.
  • Maple syrup or agave – Use as a natural sweetener instead of refined sugar.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Heat Treat the Flour

  • Before anything else, make sure your flour is safe.
  • Oven method: Spread ¾ cup all-purpose flour on a baking sheet. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 minutes, or until the flour reaches 165°F.
  • Microwave method: Place flour in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches 165°F.
  • Let the flour cool completely before using. This step removes any bacteria, making your brownie batter safe to eat.
  • Tip: Skip this step if you're using almond flour or oat flour, which are already safe to eat raw.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine:
  • ½ cup melted butter (you can melt the butter in the microwave)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk (use dairy or non-dairy like almond milk)
  • Stir until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3: Add Cocoa Powder and Salt

  • Mix in:
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Blend well to keep the texture smooth and rich. This creates that signature brownie batter flavor we all love.

Step 4: Stir in the Flour

  • Gradually add your cooled, heat-treated all-purpose flour (or almond flour if using). Stir until the mixture thickens into a soft dough-like batter. It should be thick, smooth, and fudgy—just like regular brownie batter.

Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips

  • Add ⅓ cup chocolate chips and fold them in gently. Mini chips, dark chocolate chunks, or even white chocolate chips all work great. They add texture and extra sweetness.

Optional: Adjust Consistency

  • Too thick? Add a splash more milk—one teaspoon at a time.
  • Too soft? Chill it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes.
