Easy to make sprinkle Confetti Cake Batter Brownies recipe. These funfetti brownies are moist, fudgy and so ooey gooey good! They make the best birthday cake brownies!
Confetti Cake Batter Brownies
I love everything and anything cake batter, so it comes as no surprise that I am absolutely in love with these super fudgy Confetti Cake Batter brownies!
This recipe uses a box of confetti/funfetti cake mix, along with other simple ingredients to make the best fudgy brownies ever!
Now you can call them blondies if you want, but I’m going to go with brownies because it feels right. A vanilla brownie, let’s call it that. Or an albino brownie, we can do that. I’ve googled this brownie vs blondie debate and the wounds go deep with those on both sides, but I think we can come together and just enjoy these together!
I hope you give them a try real soon!
How to Make Fudgy Birthday Cake Brownies
You want to use a boxed cake mix for these brownies, the Funfetti or Betty Crocker’s Confetti variety. I used Confetti. It’s the same thing.
Mix cake mix, oil, egg and milk together in a bowl.
Add your white chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles. The white chocolate chips are what helps make them so moist and fudgy so don’t skip them!
Mix until sprinkles and chocolate chips are fully combined in the batter.
Pour into baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes. You want to keep them in the oven just until the edges are very slightly brown. This takes around 25-30 minutes, mine took 26 minutes to be very exact. The time and dish size is important in making them fudgy!
And soon these gorgeous cake batter brownies will appear! Let them sit for 15 minutes so they can set in the dish. If you cut them too early, they might fall apart. I know it’s hard to resist.
What Size Baking Dish for Brownies?
If you want ooey gooey Confetti Cake Batter Brownies, your baking dish size matters. I used a 11×9 dish (you can also use 11×8) and I feel this made them just the right amount of soft and gooey that I wanted, so try to use a baking dish around this size. Some readers have used larger dishes and they end up more cake like, not fudgy like we want.
These brownies are one of my family’s favorite and I love making them with my daughters. We also love eating them together! 🙂
I hope you like these Funfetti Brownies! Enjoy! And if you’re looking for more sprinkle recipes make sure to try my Birthday Cake Muffins, Funfetti Sprinkle Sugar Cookie Bites, Chewy Confetti Cookies, Italian Anise Cookies and White Chocolate Toffee Recipe!

Tammy says
Thank you for this post….it made me laugh as much as drool 🙂 I am already planning to make these when I have a night alone. No sharing for me!
Pamela says
Hahaha, I like the way you think! Enjoy Tammy! 🙂
Beth says
I made these tonight for a school party tomorrow and they are delicious! I might have to make another batch because they are so good!
Pamela says
Hahaha, don’t you hate/love when that happens? Enjoy Beth!
V. Honey says
Hey I tried to make these but I think I went wrong somewhere.
I followed the instructions exactly but I found it wasn’t enough Milk. I couldn’t even stir the cake batter with 1/3 cup. And then when I added the chocolate chips it make it even tougher. I had to add more milk just to be able to stir it.
I went to pour into a 11×9 baking dish and it didn’t spread evenly (the batter wasn’t enough to fill the whole dish). I had to transfer the batter to a smaller baking dish. Unfortunately these didn’t turn out in a brownie consistency.
I was really looking forward to these too.
Pamela says
Did you add vegetable oil too? 1/4 cup vegetable oil + 1/3 cup milk should be plenty of liquid to 1 box cake mix. Here’s the consistency you should have when adding in the oil/milk/egg (easy to stir!): http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2881/8883933834_85c7bcf652_c.jpg
Leah says
Do you have to use the white chocolate chips?
Pamela says
You don’t have to, but it helps make them ooey gooey. If you want to use regular chocolate chips you can, it will just give the brownies a different appearance.
Dayna says
Just stumbled upon this — I don’t have any white chocolate chips in the house (I know, the horror!), do you think I could leave them out?
Pamela says
Hey Dayna, I’ve never made them without the chocolate chips because it adds to the whole ooey gooey factor. I’d say you can try it but I can’t promise you the same results! If you do try it, let me know! 🙂
GiGi Eats says
I am seriously doubled over in jealousy over your taste buds!!!!!!! Mine cannot eat these! WOMP!
Emma says
Having that picture right at the start if the instructions of the chips and sprinkles had me think I needed to add them first. It turned my batter grey
Pamela says
Hey Emma, sorry to hear your batter turned grey. The photos are step by step instructions with text written above them detailing the process. Still hope they were delicious!
Harleigh says
Does substituting a different kind of chocolate for the white chocolate effect the recipe? White chocolate isn’t exactly my cup of tea
Pamela says
Hey Harleigh. You can use chocolate chips and it will still be delicious, it just won’t have that vanilla birthday cake taste to it that the white chocolate chips give it. Enjoy!
Jancee says
Oh my gosh! My cat did show up ! Thanx for great tasting recipe. Love them!
Pamela says
Hahaha, that’s too funny! Cats know good treats!
Mary Grace Alexander says
I have been trying to make these. I can’t seem to figure what I’m doing wrong. They still keep comming out cakey. And not crusting on the top. Help!
Pamela says
Hey Mary Grace – you are substituting anything? Make sure to keep in the oven until slightly brown, that should assure a crusty top!
Hailey says
These are great – just made em!! Thanks for the recipe. Should I store room temp or refrigerate?
Pamela says
Hey Hailey – it’s completely up to you depending on taste. I prefered mine left in a container on the counter, but they sure don’t last very long seeing them there! 🙂
Lily @ Life, Love, and Cupcakes says
So fun!! This sounds like the perfect thing to make and bring to coworkers on my birthday!!

You would be the best co-worker in the world!
renee dwyer says
Ooh my my my… yum, I definitely do not use sprinkles enough and this is a way I can 🙂
Pamela says
Sprinkles on everything! 🙂
Deanna says
These look so fun! I would probably make them with a regular blondie recipe and just throw in a TON of sprinkles and white chocolate chips. They’re so bright and pretty!
Pamela says
Thanks Deanna, rainbow happiness!
Liz says

Your cat is so cute. 🙂 These brownies look like so much fun…guess that’s why confetti anything is awesome!
Pamela says
FiFi Bofinkles sends you a big confetti filled hug!
Jenn @ Once Upon a Tier says
That batter looks amazing. I think only about half of it would make it to the pan, maybe not even that much, if I were to make these. Which I totally am going to. And I am with you; cake batter anything and I’m in!
Pamela says
High 5 to cake batter warriors everywhere! This batch here had a few spoonfuls missing.. I couldn’t help it! 😛

Reba - Not So Perfect Life says
I love Sally! This is one of my favorite recipes she has ever posted!
Pamela says
Woo, great to hear! I decided to make it even more birthday cake crazy by using Confetti/Funfetti cake mix instead of regular. More rainbow color? Yes, please!
Jezzie says
Best post ever
Pamela says
Thanks Care Bear!
Pam says
My kids would be thrilled if I made these for them.
Pamela says
Hahaha, I bet! They cause joy!
Heather @ Snookie's Cakes says
That looks amazing! I love the idea of a “vanilla brownie”.
Pamela says
Me too! I like to believe it “feels” lighter. 😉
Jamie says
Cake batter anything for the win! I have bought things mearly because they had “cake batter” in their name. Cake batter ice cream, Oreos, vodka…. yeah it might be a problem 🙂
Plus sprinkles make everyone happy! Don’t they?
Pamela says
Sprinkles cause smiles! I can put sprinkles on anything and it brightens up my day. Have a great one Jamie!
Kelly @ Life made Sweeter says
It’s amazing how happy and magical confetti and sprinkles can make a person feel ain’t it? These look amazingly gooey and delicious! Love the shot of your cat hovering around the cake pan just taking a peak and sniff of these delightful morsels! Looking at these pictures just brightened up my whole day, thanks for sharing Pamela:)
Pamela says
Awww, glad to hear Kelly! The cat was definitely in the smell zone, I had to pick her up and move her away, but whenever the confetti brownies went, FiFi Bofinkles the cat appeared. 🙂
