Brownie Bread is the perfect combination of two favorites: the rich, fudgy texture of brownies and the sliceable convenience of quick bread. It bakes up with a crackly top, a moist chocolate center, and deep cocoa flavor in every bite. Whether you enjoy it warm with a glass of milk or as a dessert after dinner, this brownie loaf is a guaranteed hit for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pan and Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until everything is evenly blended and free of lumps.
Step 3: Combine the Sugars and Butter
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Bring the Batter Together
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
Stir gently with a spatula until the batter is thick and fully combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
Step 5: Bake the Brownie Bread
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the brownie bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
Lift it out using the parchment overhang and transfer it to a cooling rack.
Allow it to cool completely before slicing to maintain the fudgy texture.
