Cake Mix Brownies
Cake mix brownies don’t last long enough in our house, but if they did, I’d serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and maybe a little chocolate sauce drizzled over the top. Sound good? You can also add a little whipped topping.
Or just eat them by themselves, because they are delicious any way you choose.

Cake Mix Peanut Butter Brownie Recipe
The Ultimate Cake Mix Hack!
Ingredients
- Cake Mix Peanut Butter Brownies
- 1 yellow cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 1 cup peanut butter chips (or chocolate)
- 1/2 cup peanuts or walnuts
- Preheat your oven to 350°
Instructions
- Using a hand held or Kitchen Aid Mixer, mix the cake mix, eggs and oil. Add and mix peanut butter. Stir in your nuts and chips. The mixture is thick!
- Pat the batter into a 9 x 9 inch pan. 9 x 13 can also be used if you want them a little thinner.
- Bake 14-17 minutes at 350° or until golden brown like in the photo. These need to sit for at least 20 minutes after cooking since they are soft and gooey. Cut yourself a piece and enjoy!
