Ingredients for Your Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies from Cake Mix Recipe
Alright, let’s talk ingredients! You really don’t need much to whip up these Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies from Cake Mix Recipe. It’s all about simple and easy, remember?
Essential Ingredients
Okay, so here’s the must-haves: You’ll need one box (15.25 oz) of red velvet cake mix – I usually grab Betty Crocker, but whatever you like is fine! Then, grab two large eggs and half a cup of melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil – whatever you’ve got!).
Optional Ingredient
Now, for the fun part! I *love* adding ¾ cup of white chocolate chips. But hey, if you’re not a white chocolate fan (gasp!), you can totally skip ’em. Or swap them for something else! We’ll get to that later.
How to Make Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies from Cake Mix Recipe
Okay, here’s the deal. Making these Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies from Cake Mix Recipe is SO simple, it’s almost ridiculous. But trust me, the results are anything but! Just follow these steps, and you’ll be in brownie heaven in no time!
Preparing the Pan and Batter
First things first, crank up that oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating up, grab an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Leave a little overhang – it’ll make your life SO much easier when you’re trying to get those brownies out! Now, in a big bowl, dump in your red velvet cake mix, eggs, and oil. Stir it all together until it’s totally combined. Don’t worry if the batter is super thick – that’s how it’s supposed to be!
Adding Chocolate Chips and Baking
Now, if you’re using white chocolate chips (and you totally should!), gently fold them into the batter with a spatula. Then, scoop that glorious batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly. If you’re feeling fancy, press a few extra white chocolate chips into the top. Pop that pan into the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Keep an eye on ’em! You want a toothpick inserted in the center to come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Cooling and Serving Your Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies
This is the hardest part, I swear! Let those brownies cool COMPLETELY in the pan before you even *think* about slicing them. I know, I know, it’s torture. But trust me, they’ll be so much easier to cut and they’ll be even fudgier if you let them cool all the way. Once they’re cool, slice ’em up and enjoy! Seriously, these Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies from Cake Mix Recipe are best served with a tall glass of milk… or maybe a scoop of ice cream? I’m not judging!
Tips for Extra Fudgy Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies
Want to take your Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies from Cake Mix Recipe to the NEXT LEVEL of fudginess? Here’s the secret: DO NOT OVERBAKE THEM! Seriously, err on the side of underbaked. And remember that whole “cooling completely” thing? Yeah, that’s super important for fudginess too! The longer they cool, the fudgier they get. It’s like magic! Oh, and don’t skip the parchment paper – it makes getting those fudgy squares out a breeze!
Variations for Your Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies from Cake Mix Recipe
Okay, so you’ve mastered the basic Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies from Cake Mix Recipe. Awesome! Now, let’s get a little crazy and try some fun variations! Seriously, the possibilities are endless. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure, but with brownies! My favorite part is experimenting and seeing what delicious combos I can come up with.
Different Chocolate Chips
White chocolate not your thing? No problem! Try milk chocolate chips for a classic twist. Or, go dark and mysterious with dark chocolate chips. Peanut butter chips are AMAZING too, trust me!
Add Nuts
Want a little crunch? Throw in some chopped walnuts or pecans! I usually toast them lightly first – it really brings out the flavor. Just be careful not to burn them!
Frosting Options
Okay, so these brownies are pretty amazing on their own, but a little frosting never hurt anyone, right? Cream cheese frosting is a total winner with red velvet. Or, if you’re feeling lazy (like me, most of the time!), just whip up a simple glaze with powdered sugar and milk. Boom! Deliciousness!
Storing Your Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies from Cake Mix Recipe
Alright, so you’ve made a batch of these Easy Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies from Cake Mix Recipe, and… wait, you have leftovers? Wow! If you do, just pop ’em in an airtight container.

Description
Make easy, fudgy red velvet brownies from cake mix. Enjoy this simple recipe with your family.
Ingredients
- 1 15.25 oz Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cake Mix (or other brand)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 (or 9×9″) baking pan with parchment paper. Leave some parchment hanging over the edges of the pan to easily remove the brownies from the pan later.
- Add the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and oil to a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated. The batter will be very thick and will start to pull cleanly away from the edges of the bowl.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold in the white chocolate chips, if using.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread the thick batter into an even layer in the pan. If desired, gently press additional white chocolate chips into the top of the brownies before baking.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out with moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake; the brownies will continue to bake while cooling in the pan.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing them and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal.
- Do not overbake the brownies.
- Cool completely before slicing.
