Kodiak Cakes Brownie Recipe
This Kodiak Cakes Brownie Recipe combines whole grain brownie mix, butter, eggs, and milk into soft, chewy brownies with deep chocolate flavor.
Equipment
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk or sturdy spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Rubber spatula
- 8x8-inch baking pan (metal or glass both work)
- Parchment paper or nonstick spray
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 box 18–18.5 oz Kodiak Cakes Brownie Mix
- ½ cup melted butter or coconut oil for a slightly different flavor
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ¼ cup milk dairy or unsweetened almond milk both work well
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks optional but highly encouraged
- Optional add-ins: chopped walnuts pecans, or a pinch of flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it so the brownies release easily later. Trust me, future-you will appreciate this step.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the Kodiak Cakes Brownie Mix. Pour in the melted butter, crack in the eggs, add the milk, and drizzle in the vanilla extract. Stir everything together gently but thoroughly. You want a smooth batter with no dry pockets, but don’t overmix. Overmixing can make brownies dense instead of tender.
- If you’re using chocolate chips or any add-ins, fold them in now. I almost always add chocolate chips because I love those little pockets of melted chocolate throughout the brownie.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. The batter will be thick, and that’s exactly what you want.
- Bake for 22–26 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies. I usually pull them out when the center still looks slightly soft and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let them cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This helps them set and makes cutting much easier.
