Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) devil’s food cake mix ($1.00)
- 2 large eggs ($0.30)
- ½ cup vegetable oil ($0.35)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil. Stir just until blended. Do not overmix.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the brownies cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Mix gently: Overmixing can cause crumbly or dry brownies.
- Add-ins: Stir in up to 2 cups of chocolate chips if desired.
- Cake mix: Any standard 15.25-ounce cake mix works, including other flavors.
- Fat swaps: Melted butter or coconut oil can be used in place of vegetable oil for a richer flavor.
- Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, though they taste best within a few days.
