Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
  2. 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  3. 2 large eggs
  4. 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  5. 1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it thoroughly with butter or cooking spray, or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix with an electric mixer or whisk vigorously by hand until the ingredients are completely blended and smooth, with no dry cake mix remaining.
  3. If using, fold in the chocolate chips and/or nuts gently using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure it reaches all corners of the pan.
  5. Smooth the top of the batter with the back of a spatula to create an even surface.
  6. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting.
  8. Once cooled, cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife. For clean cuts, wipe the knife between each slice.
  9. Serve and enjoy your quick and easy cake mix brownies. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.

Tips

  1. • Choose your favorite cake mix flavor - chocolate, vanilla, red velvet - each will create a unique brownie experience! • For extra richness, try adding a handful of extra chocolate chips or a swirl of caramel before baking • Don't overmix the batter - just blend until ingredients are combined to keep brownies tender • Let brownies cool completely for cleaner, neater cutting • Experiment with mix-ins like crushed cookies, nuts, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top • Use parchment paper for super easy removal and perfect square cuts • Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness
