Does baking/cooking change total calories of its ingredients?

For example, say I am making brownies from a box.

16 servings per box
130 calories per serving
2,080 calories total

I assume these numbers are for finished baked brownies. But if I were to make mix everything into the batter and eat the batter instead is it approximately the same amount of calories? Or does the act of baking change the calories from the ingredients?

Ingredients:
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 Box Brownie mix
