These delicious, moist, fudgy, 2-Ingredient Brownies are made with just a Brownie Mix and Sprite!
So here’s the deal. These brownies? They only need two ingredients. That’s it. No eggs, no flour, no oil, no drama. Just a brownie mix and Sprite, and somehow they still come out chocolatey, rich, and fudgy.
I know it sounds too good to be true, but I’ve made these more times than I can count. When I want something sweet but don’t want to drag out half the pantry, this is my go-to move. Make them once and you’ll see that these 2-ingredient brownies are the ultimate lazy girl dessert hack, and yes, they absolutely taste like brownies.
Why You’ll Love This Brownies Recipe
- Fudgy and Rich. You’d never guess these were made without the usual brownie ingredients. The brownies still bake up moist, chocolatey, and totally irresistible.
- Minimal Effort, Maximum Reward. When you want something sweet but don’t feel like baking from scratch, this recipe saves the day every time.
How To Make These 2 Ingredient Brownies
Many moons ago, one of my aunts owned a bread bakery. She had a couple of baking secrets that she shared with me and one of those secrets was using carbonated drinks with cake mixes. She only sold bread and savory pastries in her bakery, but at home she rocked the cake mixes!
I had this Pillsbury Brownie Mix sitting up on one of my pantry shelves and I decided to use my aunt’s suggestion. So I poured the Sprite into the brownie mix, gave it a whisk or two, and popped it in the oven. What came out of the oven is what I least expected – tall, soft, springy, fudgy, delicious brownies! I was incredibly excited about the results, thus I went back to buy some more mixes and share the recipe with you, of course!
Recipe Tips
- Don’t overmix. Just whisk until the lumps are gone. Overmixing can make the brownies dense instead of fudgy.
- Stick with a fudge-style mix. Brownie mixes labeled “fudge” or “chewy” work best for that rich, moist texture. Avoid ones that say “cakey.”
- Let them cool completely. These need time to set before slicing. If you cut too soon, they’ll fall apart.
- Use foil for easy removal. Lining the pan with foil makes it so much easier to lift them out and cut clean squares.
- Tweak the flavor. Mix things up and try using a flavored soda like cherry cola or root beer.
Proper Storage
- On the counter or refrigerator: Once cooled, store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you want them to last longer, store them in the fridge and they’ll keep for about a week.
- To freeze: Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Thaw on the counter when that chocolate craving hits.

While co-teaching a recreation class at a summer camp at my state’s school
for the blind, my co-teacher had the class make mug cakes using cake mix and soft drink. When I retired, I thought I had taken a copy of the recipe, but can’t find it. Ours was microwaved, but this should work in my toaster over, I can’t wait to try it!
I hope you enjoy it! Thank YOU! ๐
I will have to try to the Sprite version. I have used Diet Cherry Cola and it works quite well with the chocolate (without much of a cherry taste — just that little something).
I cannot wait to try this!
On a side note I feel bad for you guys in the Polar Vortex, as we here in Australia swelter through 109 degrees today!
I LOVE how easy this recipe is Kate! It sounds so ridiculously yummy!
oh wow…mmm.. those looks delicious! I’ll have to try this, never heard of adding Sprite.
I enjoyed browsing yours site, lots of good recipe and great photos!

Now this is my kind of baking… a must try recipe. ๐
Would love to try this and I have a question. The brownie mix you use…is the mix the kind you just add water to, or do you use the kind of mix you also add eggs to but omit the eggs and add sprite? Hope that makes sense ๐
Hi Anne! Yes, this brownie mix is the one that asks for eggs and oil, but instead of all that jazz, just pour in some sprite and pop it in the oven. ๐ The brownie mix for this is also a small one – 10-ounces. If you are going to use the bigger boxes, you would need to add more sprite. Hope that helps!!
