Ohhh yes — 2-Ingredient Brownies 🍫 — fudgy, chewy, and ridiculously easy. Perfect for when you want chocolatey indulgence without a ton of ingredients or fuss.
Here’s a classic two-ingredient method:
2-Ingredient Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor you like; chocolate is classic)
- 1 can (about 15 oz) pumpkin puree or black beans (drained & rinsed)
Optional tweaks:
- Chocolate chips for extra chocolatey bites
- A pinch of salt for depth
- 1 tsp vanilla extract for flavor boost
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C.
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease.
2️⃣ Mix ingredients
- In a bowl, combine cake mix and pumpkin puree (or black beans) until smooth.
- Optional: fold in chocolate chips.
3️⃣ Bake
- Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
- Bake 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (slightly fudgy inside is perfect).
4️⃣ Cool & serve
- Let cool at least 10–15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips for perfect 2-ingredient brownies
- Pumpkin makes brownies dense, moist, and fudgy without oil.
- Black beans make them rich, fudgy, and gluten-free — just pulse in a blender first if you want ultra-smooth texture.
- Don’t overbake — the middle should still look a little soft.
- Can drizzle with chocolate or dust with powdered sugar for a fancy touch.
If you want, I can give a “ultra-fudgy, 2-ingredient version with gooey center” hack that tastes like bakery brownies but still only uses two main ingredients.
