Valentine's Day Red Velvet Brownies
These decadent red velvet brownies, made effortlessly by combining red velvet cake mix and brownie mix, are the perfect balance of fudgy richness and vibrant red velvet flavor
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix usually 18-20 oz
- 1/2 box red velvet cake mix you can use a food scale to measure exactly half, or just esimate
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips optional, for extra gooeyness
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the brownie mix and half the red velvet cake mix in a large bowl. Pro tip: I would use a food scale if you have one to get exactly half of your cake mix.
- Add the eggs, melted butter, and water to the mix. Stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but spreadable.
- Optional: Add a couple drops of red food coloring for extra vibrant red color (See note below)
- Fold in the white chocolate chips if using.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely before cutting into squares for the best texture.
- Optional: Melt some pink melting chocolate with a bit of coconut oil and drizzle over the top of your cooled red velvet brownies
Notes
**I recommend buying the food coloring made for baking from a craft store. It usually provides a rich color with only a few drops.
