Instructions

To heat treat the flour in the oven spread the flour in an even layer on a parchment lined baking tray. Bake for 6-7 minutes at 350°F (180°C) keeping a close eye on it so that it doesn't burn. As soon as it comes out of the oven, use an instant read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the flour. It should read 160°F (72°C) or above.
To heat treat the flour in the microwave add the flour to a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 and ½ minutes (90 seconds). Check the internal temperature of the flour with an instant read thermometer immediately after removing it from the microwave. The temperature should read 160°F (72°C) or above.
Let the flour cool completely and then sift it to remove any lumps that formed in the heating process.
Add the heat treated flour to a mixing bowl, sift in the cocoa powder and then add the salt. Mix together.
Add butter and ½ cup chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals bringing it out to stir every 30-seconds until melted.
Add light brown sugar, milk and vanilla extract to the melted butter and chocolate chips and whisk it in until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix into a thick batter.
Add chocolate chips and fold them in.
Your edible brownie batter is ready to serve! If you want to scoop it, then let it firm up in the fridge before scooping.

Notes

All purpose flour – should be measured correctly either by weighing it out on a food scale or by using the ‘spoon and level’ method. If you're weighing it out on a food scale, click 'metric' below the list of ingredients to get the correct weight in grams. If you're using the spoon and level method then spoon the flour into a measuring cup and then level off the top with a knife.
Light brown sugar - this should be a very fine light brown sugar so that it dissolves easily and doesn't make the texture grainy. If you're in the USA then most light brown sugar is already a finely textured sugar, but in some countries brown sugar is the same texture as granulated sugar with fairly large granules. If that's the case then just make sure to get one that is a very fine sugar.
Chocolate chips - can be milk chocolate chips or dark or semi sweet or anything you have on hand. Or chop up a bar of high quality chocolate and use chocolate chunks instead.
Add in's - this recipe is perfect for adding any other delicious goodies that you like. Chopped up Oreos is a great idea, or roasted, salted nuts, or chopped up peanut butter cups or melted biscoff cookie butter, chopped biscoff cookies, sprinkles, marshmallows, really anything your heart desires!
Gluten-free: If you'd like to make this recipe gluten-free then switch the regular flour for a gluten-free all purpose baking blend and heat treat it as usual.
Dairy-free: Simply replace the butter with a dairy-free butter such as Earth Balance and use a dairy-free milk such as soy milk or almond milk. You'll also want to use dairy-free chocolate chips such as Enjoy Life brand.
Storing: This brownie batter stores very well in the fridge for up to a week. It firms up in the fridge and becomes the perfect texture for scooping with a cookie/ice cream scoop. If it gets too firm then just let it sit on the counter for a few minutes to soften before scooping.
Freezing: It also freezes very well (for up to 3 months) and can be enjoyed straight out of the freezer. The best way to freeze it is to roll them into balls and then freeze them on a baking tray. When frozen you can move them from the baking tray to a ziploc bag and then they're ready to snack on anytime.
