See how easy it is to make Dutch Oven Brownies on your next camping trip. This eggless brownie recipe can be made at home, too.
Before our last camping trip, we were trying to decide which Dutch oven recipes to make. We camped with friends of ours and took turns making meals.
Our camping buddies grilled ribeye steaks for all of us. We had them with Instant Pot Mashed Garlic Potatoes. The meal was FANTASTIC!
For our night, we made our . We used chicken thighs, sweet potato, red onion, carrot, bell peppers, garlic, and mushrooms. This Dutch oven brownie recipe is what we made for dessert.
We bake them at the same time by stacking the Dutch ovens. Both took an hour to bake.

We really like to make easy recipes. We have made Dutch Oven Dump Cake and Chocolate Cake using a cake mix and a soda. This recipe was an experiment to see if the same technique would work with a brownie mix.
This brownie recipe only requires three ingredients. You could skip the chocolate chips, but your camping brownies will be much more cake-like and not fudgy. Try other brownie mix add-ins, such as candy or mini marshmallows.
Other easy Dutch Oven Desserts include Cherry Chocolate Lava Cake, Lemon Blueberry Dump Cake, Cinnamon Apple Cake, Dutch Oven Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cake, and Turtle Dump Cake.
What to add to brownie mix?
We added a dark-coloredsoda pop to our brownie mix. When we mixed the brownie mix and a can of soda together, it was very watery. Usually, brownie batter is very thick, and cake batter is thinner, but this was practically pure liquid.
Years ago, we made an eggless brownie recipe at home but only used half of a can of soda. We used the entire can for this brownie batter without thinking.It really blew our minds that this recipe worked.
Since we already had the batter prepped, we thought we might as well try to bake it and see what happens.
We lined the Dutch oven with a liner. Get them here, or make your own liners.
We guessed that this campfire brownie recipe would turn out to be chocolate soup, but we got to eat the dessert, not slurp it.
As with most Dutch oven cooking, we used our noses to determine whether the baking was done. Once we started smelling chocolate, we knew it was time to check the pot.
We were surprised when we lifted the lid and found a tall Dutch brownie cake. Our brownie mix recipe experiment was a success!
When we cut into the brownies, we found the bottom very fudgy, especially toward the middle.
