Diet Coke Brownies

Easy to make Diet Coke Brownies recipe that only requires 3 ingredients. These chocolate brownies are so fudgy!

Diet Coke Brownies

I made these brownies over the weekend and they were a giant hit.  We’re talking fighting over crumbs.  We’re talking pushing and shoving in the kitchen (but softly). We’re talking every woman and man for themselves.  Can you believe that such brownie grabbing would be caused by 3 simple ingredients?

Diet Coke Brownies

Diet Coke Brownies Ingredients:

12 ounce can of Diet Coke
1 box brownie mix (I used 18 oz box of Ghirardelli)
handful of chocolate chips

That’s it.

How to Make Brownies With Diet Coke

You’ll mix your diet coke, brownie mix and chocolate chips in a bowl until combined. Even though the cake box calls for other ingredients, you can ignore those. You will only need 3 ingredients for this recipe.

Grab a 9×9 pan and spray with nonstick spray. Then pour the brownie mix into the pan.

Into the oven it goes for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool before cutting into them and serving.

I prefer these brownies without frosting because I think they’re fudgy enough, but if you want to add chocolate frosting on top – go for it!

And when you mix it all together it’s like a science project but no cool looking since goggles are needed.

I love how easy these brownies are to make, but I especially love how fudgy and delicious they are to bite into!

Cherry Coke Brownies

Also if you want to go super wild, you can turn these into Cherry Diet Coke Chocolate Brownies by adding 1 teaspoon of maraschino cherry juice into the batter.  You’ll get a little kick of cherry taste, just like Cherry Coke!

    That’s just crazy, Pamela! These brownies look fabulous! I mean, I want to take my finger and run it across the top of that one brownie in the picture…. and then I just want to eat them all. With a tall glass of milk!! I am going to give this a try…even though I’m disappointed that I won’t have to wear goggles! I might just wear them anyway…you know, just because. Of course, I have to ask the question…. can they be made with regular coke too? <3
