Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 6 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sugars

  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

Chocolate

  • 4 oz. dark chocolate bar, chopped and divided

Instructions

  1. Heat-Treat the Flour: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a small sheet pan and place it in the oven for 5 minutes. This step kills any potential bacteria making the flour safe for raw consumption.
  2. Melt the Butter: In a large heat-proof mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave until fully liquified.
  3. Incorporate Half of the Chocolate: Add half of the chopped dark chocolate to the melted butter. Whisk continuously until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Add the Sugars: Whisk in both the packed light brown sugar and granulated sugar. The mixture will appear grainy but that’s normal.
  5. Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract, blending well to infuse flavor into the mixture.
  6. Sift Dry Ingredients: Measure the cocoa powder and salt into a fine sieve. Add the heat-treated flour to the sieve and sift all together into the butter and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine into a thick, consistent batter.
  7. Add Milk for Consistency: Gradually add the whole milk, a few tablespoons at a time, stirred in with a wooden spoon until you reach your desired batter consistency—thick but scoopable.
  8. Fold in Remaining Chocolate: Finally, stir in the remaining chopped chocolate chunks evenly to add texture and bursts of melted chocolate throughout the batter.

Notes

  • Heat-treating the flour is essential to ensure safety when consuming raw flour.
  • This batter is safe to eat as is and does not require baking.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure heat-treating is still done.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • To enhance flavor, you can add a pinch of espresso powder when sifting dry ingredients.
