ECHO %VAR% to FILE (Not value of %VAR%, but text "%VAR%")

%VAR%=VARIABLE

I need to echo %VAR% to file so after command:

ECHO %VAR% > FILE.TXT

content of FILE.TXT will be:

%VAR%

But since %VAR% was defined and assigned value, file will look like 

VARIABLE

What do i need to add to my command to make it echo %VAR% and not the value?

You could turn on local variables and set %var% to blank.

You can also escape it with the caret. echo ^%var^%

See setlocal /?
