Description
This Brownie Bread recipe combines the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the soft crumb of quick bread. It’s deeply chocolatey, moist, and perfect for slicing — a treat that pairs wonderfully with coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until glossy and well combined.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently until just combined.
- Pour in milk and mix until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips or chunks.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Let the brownie bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Do not overbake — this bread is meant to stay moist and fudgy in the center.
- For extra richness, drizzle melted chocolate or a dusting of powdered sugar on top before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
