Looking for a super-quick snack or dessert that doesn’t require any cooking? Are you a huge lover of deep, rich dark chocolate? Then you’ve come to the right place! This edible brownie batter is great with a spoon, or as a dip for some strawberries! Low-carb, ketogenic, paleo, sugar-free, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free.
Several weeks ago, I posted one of my favorite easy peasy dessert recipes, an edible cookie dough bite recipe that I absolutely LOVE. It’s been one of my go-to snacks lately because it takes only a few minutes to pull together. It’s so great when you want something sweet, but don’t want to spend time baking.
Well, I think I have just outdone myself with this edible brownie batter recipe. I think I have found my new favorite recipe guys. What is better than edible cookie dough? How about edible brownie batter? YUM.
No baking. Only a few minutes. Tons of CHOCOLATE. Need I say more?
This incredible edible brownie batter is a recipe I guarantee you’ll be coming back to time and time again. I guarantee that your friends and family will be impressed, even if they don’t eat low-carb, Paleo or gluten-free. It really is a fantastic recipe for everyone to enjoy.
To make it, all you have to do is start by melting some butter or ghee, and mixing in some sweetener, cocoa powder and vanilla extract or vanilla bean powder. Next, mix in your coconut flour, one tablespoon at a time.
If you would rather use almond flour, I recommend using approximately 1 cup, mixing it in slowly as well.
Next you’ll want to mix in your heavy cream or coconut milk. This is where you can really easily make up for your mistakes if you added too much flour. Simply mix in the cream or milk slowly, until you reach a nice dip consistency. You want it to be nice and soft, so that it can be easily scooped up with some fruit, but not soupy either.
You can really have fun here. If you are looking for a certain consistency, simply add more or less milk. Also, if your mixture becomes too hard, especially after it sits in the fridge for awhile, simply mix in a bit of extra coconut milk or heavy cream. Luckily, this recipe is really forgiving!

I make a similar recipe, and form little balls coated with finely shredded coconut. Easy to handle, very popular with kids and guests. Next time I’ll try your recipe.
Sounds great, love the idea of coating them in coconut!
I scaled this down to 1 serving. The taste was great! The texture is a little off, but not too bad. My throat feels funny when I eat coconut flour. Even though the almond flour will make it gritty, I’ll probably switch to that. Thanks for the recipe! It was a good craving buster! And…as a pleasant surprise, when I mixed the butter, cocoa, and sweetener, it made a fantastic
silky smooth ganachee!
So glad you enjoyed this! Let me know how it goes if you use almond flour next time. I will definitely have to experiment with making a ganache for a future recipe, LOVE that idea 😀
can you melt coconut oil instead of butter?
Hi Bri, yes you can. Just note that once you refrigerate coconut oil, it hardens up more than butter does, so it might be a little harder than if you used butter. If you let it sit out for a bit at room temperature before consuming, it should soften back up.
