Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Dash of cinnamon
Wet Ingredient
- 12 ounces Dr. Pepper (or 1 can)
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a dash of cinnamon, stirring until evenly mixed.
- Add Dr Pepper: Pour in the Dr Pepper soda and stir the mixture until everything is well blended and smooth without any lumps.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and place it in the oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center—it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool slightly before cutting into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy the fizzy chocolatey goodness!
Notes
- Using Dr Pepper gives these brownies a unique flavor and helps keep them moist.
- Be careful not to overbake to maintain softness and fudgy texture.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips based on preference.
- If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Make sure the baking pan is properly greased to avoid sticking.
