You’ll Love These Rocky Road Brownies! They Are:

I adapted this easy Rocky Road Brownies Recipe using my Fudgy Vegan Almond Flour Brownies, which means these brownies are moist, perfectly fudgy, gluten-free, dairy-free, and egg-free!
Ingredients You’ll Need To Make Rocky Road Brownies
- Almond Flour: Be sure to use Blanched Almond Flour like this one: Blue Diamond Almond Flour
- Cocoa Powder: You can use unsweetened Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder, like this one. Or, you can use raw cacao powder!
- Natural Sweetener: Coconut Sugar, Maple Syrup, Vanilla Extract. Just a bit of each is all you need to make this perfectly sweetened dessert! If you do not have coconut sugar, you can use brown sugar.
- Binder: Applesauce, Almond Butter. The applesauce works to replace the egg in this recipe and the almond butter helps to create the perfect fudgy brownies!
- Non-Dairy Milk: Use your favorite non-dairy (or dairy) milk. I use almond milk in this recipe.
- Signature Rocky Road Ingredients: Chocolate Chips, Marshmallows, Walnuts! If you do not have walnuts you can also use pecans! Make sure to use marshmallows labeled gluten-free and vegan.
- Essentials: Baking soda and salt
How To Make Rocky Road Brownies
- Simply combine all of the wet ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl. Then, combine the dry ingredients in a separate large bowl.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in the nuts and chocolate chips.
- Then, pour the mixture into the skillet, making sure it is evenly distributed.
- Add the marshmallows on top and bake!
Tips and Customizations
- Skip The Skillet: You can also make these brownies in an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish. Just line it with parchment paper first so that you can easily remove the brownies
- Add As Many Toppings As You Like: Pile on the marshmallows, chocolate chips, and walnuts. You can also add cashews, crush pecans, or sliced almonds.
- Try A Mix Of Chocolate: Add Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Oatmilk Chocolate. Add them all!
Can you freeze rocky road brownies?
Yes! Once you make the brownies, allow them to cool. Then, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, defrost at room temperature for 2-3 hours. Then, bake in the oven to warm.
What To Serve With These Rocky Road Brownies:
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Hot Chocolate
- Coffee
