No-Bake Chocolate Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Batter Base
01 -
1¼ cups all-purpose flour (can substitute oat flour or almond flour)
02 -
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
03 -
¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
04 -
¼ cup granulated sugar
05 -
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 -
¼ teaspoon salt
08 -
¼ cup milk, at room temperature (adjust to desired consistency)
→ Mix-ins
09 -
1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
# Instructions:
01 -
If using all-purpose flour, heat-treat it first (see notes below). For oat or almond flour, simply whisk it together with salt in a mixing bowl until well combined.
02 -
In a separate bowl, microwave the butter for about 45 seconds. Stir to help melt any remaining pieces. If needed, heat for another 10-15 seconds until completely melted.
03 -
Whisk the melted butter and both sugars together until smooth and well combined. The mixture should look glossy and slightly thickened.
04 -
Whisk in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth, rich, and free of any cocoa lumps.
05 -
Gently stir in the flour-salt mixture, followed by adding milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. The batter should be thick but scoopable.
06 -
Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks just until they're evenly distributed. Don't overmix at this stage.
07 -
Serve immediately in a bowl for scooping, roll into bite-sized balls for snacking or mixing into ice cream, or transfer to a container for storing.
