Description
Brownie bread is the perfect fusion of a rich, chocolatey brownie and the soft, sliceable texture of a loaf. This indulgent treat combines deep cocoa flavor with a moist crumb and a slightly crisp top. It’s easy to make, stays soft longer than traditional brownies, and is perfect for dessert, snacking, or even breakfast!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips
🔹 Pro Tip: For an ultra-moist texture, substitute half of the butter with Greek yogurt or sour cream.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and creamy.
- Add butter: Melt butter and allow it to cool slightly before mixing it into the wet ingredients.
- Combine mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined (do not overmix).
- Fold in chocolate chips for extra richness.
- Pour batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
🔹 Baking Tip: For a gooier texture, remove from the oven at 35 minutes and let it finish cooking as it cools.
