Easy Brownie Cinnamon Rolls
These brownie cinnamon rolls are made with brownie mix and refrigerated cinnamon rolls for a quick baked dessert. They’re easy to prepare and best served warm.
Ingredients
- 1 package Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls
- 10 ounce package brownie mix
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the brownie mix, egg, and vegetable oil until blended.
- Unroll the cinnamon roll dough on floured parchment paper and spread with brownie batter
- Roll up the dough, slice into rolls, and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake until cooked through, then ice while warm and drizzle with melted chocolate.
Notes
- Make-ahead tip: These rolls can be baked earlier in the day and reheated briefly before serving. Add the icing and chocolate drizzle just before serving if you prefer a fresher look.
- Texture tip: Baking until the centers are fully set helps the rolls hold together when sliced and served.
- Serving tip: Serve warm so the brownie layer stays soft and the icing spreads easily.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
- Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as the cinnamon roll dough can lose its texture after thawing.
