These super moist homemade Dr Pepper brownies are the best brownies to satisfy your chocolate craving. They are such a rich and decadent dessert that you’ll want to eat the whole pan.
Dr Pepper Brownies Ingredient List
You’ll need:
- 1 box of milk chocolate brownie mix
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup of vegetable oil
- ¼ cup of Dr Pepper
- ¾ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Substitutions And Additions
DR PEPPER: Add a hint of cherry in your brownies with cherry Dr Pepper instead of regular in this easy brownie recipe.
TOPPINGS: You can go as simple as a dusting of powdered sugar or as fancy as a scoop of ice cream and hot fudge on top of these decadent brownies.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, you could try a different type of chips such as white chocolate, peanut butter, or even larger chocolate chunks.
How To Make This Dr Pepper Brownies Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a nine by nice inch baking dish with parchment paper.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Lining the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil will allow you to lift the entire baked brownies out of the pan for easier cutting once cooled. You can also grease the pan instead.
STEP TWO: In a large bowl, combine the box of brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, Dr Pepper, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Mix brownie batter well.
PRO TIP:
Don’t follow the instructions on the cake mix box regarding additional ingredients. We have replaced those here with eggs, oil, and Dr Pepper.
Here’s a fabulous baker’s secret: Coating the chocolate chips in flour before folding them into the batter will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of your brownies. They will remain suspended in the batter while baking.
STEP THREE: Pour batter into the prepared pan.
STEP FOUR: Bake at 350°F for 32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out almost clean.
STEP FIVE: Let brownies cool.
STEP SIX: Lift the cooled brownies out of the pan using the sides of the parchment paper. Cut into squares before serving.
How To Serve
Enjoy this fun recipe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of hot fudge sauce, and a dollop of whipped cream is just the right way to finish off this perfect brownie recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Diet Dr Pepper for this recipe?
We don’t recommend using the diet version of Dr Pepper as it will change the flavor of the brownies.
Can I use my own homemade brownies recipe for these brownies?
The boxed brownie mix makes this recipe very easy, but if you prefer to make your own brownies, you can. Dr Pepper replaces the water in the boxed brownie mix, so make sure you replace an equivalent liquid in your homemade brownies with Dr Pepper.
Do I have to refrigerate these brownies?
You can store your brownies on the counter for one to two days or in the freezer for three months.

If I used a 13×9 box mix do I double everything? My Publix right now is only offering 13×9. Iโm doing chemo and shop by delivery.
Thanks!
Layne Kangas says
Yes, I would double everything. I hope you enjoy! โฅ

Can you use any brownie mix or is it better with milk chocolate
Layne Kangas says
You can use your favorite!
Melody says
Can you use Pepsi instead of Dr Pepper
Layne Kangas says
I haven’t tried, so I am not sure how they will taste! I would assume so! ๐
Brenda says
Do I have to use parchment paper or can I use Pam cooking spray?
Layne Kangas says
You could use cooking spray if you prefer. Enjoy!

Wendy says
My son made these without the chocolate chips. They were still very, very moist. That’s what I like in a brownie.I had to beg him to save one for me! I ate this brownie not knowing what to expect, and it was the most moist brownie I have ever eaten! It has to be the Dr. Pepper!
Ali says
I love Dr Pepper, I only have original in the house will that still work or does it have to be cherry ?
Layne Kangas says
That will work, enjoy!!
