Print Recipe

Brownie rolls are rich, fudgy, and gooey chocolate treats that offer a dense chocolaty experience with a luscious soft center. Easy to make at home with simple ingredients, these batch-worthy rolls are perfect for any occasion and can be customized with nuts, spices, or fillings to suit your taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Variations

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (for swirl)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or chili powder (for spice)
  • For dairy-free option: substitute butter with coconut oil and eggs with flax eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Melt the butter, then combine it with granulated sugar and cocoa powder to create a rich chocolate base. Allow this mixture to cool slightly before beating in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet chocolate mixture, mixing gently to avoid overmixing, which helps maintain a perfect chewy texture.
  3. Shape the rolls: Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle shape. If desired, spread a layer of peanut butter or sprinkle chopped nuts and chocolate chips over the dough. Then roll the dough tightly from one edge to form a log.
  4. Slice and bake: Cut the dough log into equal slices and place them spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and gooey.
  5. Cool and enjoy: Let the brownie rolls cool slightly at room temperature to allow the gooey center to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for easier incorporation and a smoother batter.
  • Do not overbake; remove rolls when edges are firm and centers still jiggle slightly for a gooey middle.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
  • Chill the dough for 20 minutes before rolling to make shaping and slicing easier and neater.
  • Experiment with toppings such as coarse salt or a drizzle of caramel for added flavor.
