Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour gluten-free if needed (Note 1 for grain-free)
1/2 cup unsalted butter or vegan butter melted
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar or coconut sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons milk any kind plus more if needed
2/3 cup cocoa powder Natural or Dutch-processed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 ounces dark chocolate bar chopped

Instructions

Heat treat the flour in the microwave by placing the flour in a bowl and heating on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute (Note 2).
Whisk together the wet ingredients in a large bowl, including the melted butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla extract until combined.
Add the heat-treated flour and cocoa powder and fold using a rubber spatula. Add more milk a tablespoon at a time as needed to reach your desired consistency. A thicker brownie batter is best served with a spoon, but you can make it slightly thinner to enjoy as a dip with fruit or cookies.
Stir in chocolate chips and chocolate chunks until well-distributed. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Brownie batter will freeze well for up to 3 months.

Notes

Note 1. Gluten-free and Grain-Free. swap the flour for 1 1/4 cups blanched almond flour and 1/4 cup tapioca flour. You do not need to heat treat either.

Note 2. Heat Treating. Raw flour can contain harmful bacteria, so heat-treating helps prevent this. You can also spread the flour onto a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes.

Edible brownie batter for one: heat treat 3 tablespoons of flour then combine it with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and a pinch of salt. Mix in 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 1 1/2 Tablespoons browner sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, 2 teaspoons of milk, and a handful of chocolate chips. Add more milk as needed.

Boxed brownie mix: heat treat the mix the same way as the flour and mix it with the melted butter, vanilla, milk, and chocolate chips.

Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and enjoy with a spoon or set it at room temperature for 30 minutes before using it as a dip.
