Description
This Brownie Bread is the perfect mix between a rich, fudgy brownie and a soft chocolate loaf. With deep cocoa flavor, gooey texture, and a crackly top, it’s a chocoholic’s dream! Easy to make in one bowl and baked to perfection, this loaf is great for dessert, brunch, or any chocolate craving.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup melted unsalted butter
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 oz melted dark chocolate
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients: Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
Combine wet ingredients: In another large bowl, whisk melted butter, oil, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until glossy.
Add chocolate: Stir in melted dark chocolate until smooth.
Combine: Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Add extras: Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
Bake: Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center has moist crumbs.
Cool: Let rest 10–15 minutes in the pan, then cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use both butter and oil for a perfect balance of flavor and moisture.
Do not overmix—stir until ingredients are just combined.
Check early around 45 minutes; every oven varies.
Add espresso powder for deeper chocolate flavor.
Store at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerate up to a week, or freeze up to 3 months.
