Cake Batter Blondies

I saw this recipe and I knew I had to to try it. What is better than cake batter, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles? I made these for my Dad and I thought he was going to fall over when he tried them. Lets just say he loved them and could not stop eating them! I can't blame him these blondies are delicious. This recipe can be adapted to satisfy any of your cravings because all you do is change your flavor of cake mix and add different mix-ins! (I recently tried yellow cake mix, white chocolate chips, and walnuts. These blondies were good, but not as good as these cake batter ones!) I can't wait to try Girl Meets Life's other cake box brownies! Almost tempted to try them out today, but I know I should wait. :) PS make sure you under bake these puppies, it's supposed to be cake batter after all!

Cake Batter Blondies 

1 box of yellow cake mix

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

1/3-1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup sprinkles

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1. Combine cake mix, vegetable oil, egg, and milk. The batter should be very thick.

2. Mix in the chocolate chips and sprinkles.

3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8 x 8 pan with tin foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. 

4. Pour the mixture into the prepped pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden. (You may not think they were done BUT the gooey center means you baked them correctly. YUM!)

Guilt-Free Brownie

You won't even miss the fat and calories when you try these brownies. They are amazing! The espresso powder really enhances the chocolate taste and this recipe even uses real sugar. The brownies are small and a little on the cakey side so I baked them on less time since I like a nice gooey brownie.

Guilt-Free Brownies

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 egg whites (I used 1/2 cup egg white beaters)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (I used soy flour)

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8 x 8 baking pan with tin foil. Spray an 8 x 8 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray

2. Combine applesauce, vanilla, egg whites, and sugar in a medium mixing bowl.

3. Add the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir together until no lumps remain. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top.

4. Bake brownies for 18-20 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.

5. Transfer pan to a cooling rack and cool for 5 minutes. Cut brownies into 12 equal pieces.

Ice Cream Sundae Brownies!

Since I've gotten out of school for the summer I have been baking and cooking like crazy! I think I've gained 10 pounds because of it. (I just can't resist batter of ANY kind!) I haven't gotten to the point of making my own recipes yet, but I hope to soon! So this recipe today comes from Picky Palate ! 

I made these crazy, delicious brownies for my dad earlier this afternoon. They're actually in the oven as I'm typing this. :) I saw this recipe and I knew he would love them, I mean who wouldn't?! These brownies have ice cream, hot fudge, and chocolate chips, what more could a girl ask for? Well, I guess a glass of cold milk to go with them. :) Here's the recipe!

Ice Cream Sundae Brownies

1 box of brownie mix

2 eggs (I used a 1/2 cup of egg beaters)

1/2 cup of vegetable oil

1/2 cup of ice cream (I used cookies n' cream frozen yogurt)

1/4 cup fudge topping

1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl mix the brownie mix, 2 eggs, and oil until combined. (The batter is going to be SUPER thick, but don't worry). Scoop in the ice cream, chocolate chips, and hot fudge; mix until combined. Pour into a foil lined 8 x 8 baking dish that is sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 40-50 minutes. (I like my brownie gooey so I did around 45 minutes.)

2. Let the brownies cool completely. Remove foil from the dish and cut those brownies!

These brownies came out SO good! Super moist and super dense!
