My “recipe” for Cake Batter Blondies – one that I sort of randomly came up with last year – has become the most-visited post on GML. I say “recipe” because it’s almost too simple to be considered such…yet to this day it’s the treat that I find craving more than almost anything else.
You might find that too.
ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup milk
directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the cake mix and sprinkles in a large bowl, then mix in the oil and egg. Add the milk slowly just until the batter is combined – you want it to remain as dense as possible. Place better in a greased 8×8 pan or 8-inch cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or just until the edges turn golden. Let cool for 20 minutes before cutting because the gooey center needs to set. The result will be a decadent, cake-batter texture.
I mentioned last week how I’m going to start baking again…do you have any must-try (simple) recipes to suggest?
Do you think this would work with funfetti cake mix (and no sprinkles)?
Also, one thing I love doing is making regular brownies (from a mix), but chopping up Reese’s to put in the batter before baking. So easy, and it makes the brownies 1000x better.
Hey Gloria! Some people have left comments saying they used funfetti mix and that it worked…worth a shot!
That’s a great idea for brownies! YUM. Thanks for the suggestion
I made these with no additional sprinkles using the funfetti mix. I could NOT get mine to cook. I kept putting them back in the oven but the center was still MUSH. They tasted great to me hah but no one else would eat them. Which is fine…but they ended up in the garbage because i was eating them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They were so gooey that i couldn’t cut them into squares!
Perhaps I added too much oil! I will try again
PS! This recipe is alotttt healthier (ER) than the other recipes I found via pinterest. No added sugars or butter compared to the others I found. I like that.
This looks so good!!! I love any bar cookie for something quick. No need to form individual cookies and such. They’re my favorite!
After making those cookies and being addicted for days I dont even know if I want to try this one! they look so good!
Mmm these look delicious and I love how colorful they are with the sprinkles!! I might add chocolate chips to mine!
Ahhh…I’ve been meaning to try this recipe! Thank you for the reminder. (:
You should try making a version of a diet coke cake or cupcakes! Basically a soda (of your choice) takes the place of the egg/oil/butter/etc. that a boxed cake mix calls for. So simple and delicious. Plus, the flavor possibilities are endless!
These buckwheat clusters! Super easy & a great on-the-go snack for work and errands. Plus.. they’re gluten-free.

I have been making these for over a year. I send make most batches for my husband to take to work. His coworkers love them and so do mine!
Thank you for creating this recipe!
