Bayern thought they had secured all three points after a sensational solo effort and goal from Jamal Musiala in the 75th minute.
But Lucas Holer then fired into the far left corner in the 87th for a share of the points which hurt Bayern much more than mid-table Freiburg.
Freiburg's Vincenzo Grifo said: "We played a good game and we knew we had to suffer. We said we wanted to play good football. We can live very well with this 2-2. We can be proud of our performance."
Freiburg had a dream start when Christian Gunter netted in the 12th minute in a Freiburg attack that first saw Roland Sallai denied by an amazing Manuel Neuer save and Sallai's overhead kick on the rebound hitting the crossbar.
Grifo missed a second for the hosts when he curled his effort inches wide right against a confused Bayern defence.
But Grifo then lost a crucial duel against first-time season starter Mathys Tel, who turned and fired a 35th-minute equaliser high into the far right corner.
Bundesliga top scorer Harry Kane came close after the restart before German international Musiala put Bayern ahead when he cut inside from the left and beat three defenders before firing home into the far right corner.
But Holer's goal means Bayern are seven points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen, and Xabi Alonso's unbeaten side can raise the advantage to 10 on Sunday with victory in a regional derby at lowly Cologne.
"We showed no structure and discipline in the first half hour. We then showed a good reaction in the second half," Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel told streaming portal DAZN.
"We had many chances but then conceded a lucky goal. One good half is not enough if you want to win here."
Friday's outcome will not give Bayern added confidence for next week's Champions League last-16 game against Lazio where they need to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg in Rome.
Bayern have won only one of their last five games in all competitions.
Freiburg are also in action next week in the Europa League last 16 where they take on West Ham United.
