Description

Brownie Bread is a decadent chocolate loaf that combines the fudginess of brownies with the softness of cake. Moist and rich, this recipe is perfect for indulging as a dessert or enjoying a special breakfast treat.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift or whisk the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and uniform with no lumps.
  5. Transfer and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before slicing to maintain its fudgy texture.

Notes

  • For an extra fudgy texture, fold in chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
  • Make sure not to overbake to keep the bread moist and chewy.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for a week.
