Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup sugar (reducing for better balance)
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (reducing for a lighter texture)
¼ cup neutral oil (helps keep brownies moist)
2 large eggs
¾ cup Dr Pepper soda (slightly reducing for better consistency)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Prepare Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, oil, eggs, Dr Pepper, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies soft. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Bake the Brownies

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Cool and Serve

Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing. For the best texture, allow them to cool completely before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use diet Dr Pepper?

Yes! You can substitute diet Dr Pepper for regular, though the brownies may be slightly less sweet.

Do I need to chill the batter before baking?

Nope! These brownies are meant to be quick and easy—just mix and bake.

Can I use a different pan size?

Absolutely. If you don’t have an 8×8-inch pan, a 9×9-inch or 9×13-inch pan works too, but baking times will vary. Keep an eye on them and use a toothpick to check for doneness.

What pairs well with Dr Pepper brownies?

They’re fantastic on their own but even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
