Description

These fudgy Dr Pepper Brownies are quick, easy, and perfect for beginners. The soda adds moisture and a subtle cherry-vanilla flavor.


Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour – 1 cup
  • Granulated sugar – 1 cup
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder – 1/2 cup
  • Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Dr Pepper soda – 3/4 cup
  • Butter – 1/2 cup (melted)
  • Chocolate chips – 1/2 cup
  • Optional: chopped nuts, sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter with sugar and Dr Pepper soda until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until fully mixed. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional add-ins like nuts.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use Dutch-process cocoa for a smoother chocolate flavor.
  • Let brownies cool completely for cleaner slicing.
  • Substitute Dr Pepper with cola or root beer for flavor variations.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
