Ingredients

The rich ingredients to create this chocolate bliss come together perfectly in the mixing bowl.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter and then mix in the granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until evenly blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips for that extra burst of chocolate goodness.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the brownie bread to cool slightly before serving warm, drizzled with hot fudge sauce and topped with a scoop of ice cream.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: If you’re out of unsalted butter, you can use margarine or even coconut oil. For a lower-sugar option, consider substituting half of the granulated sugar with a sugar alternative like stevia or monk fruit.
- Optional variations: Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture, or mix in white chocolate chips for a fun twist on flavor.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store leftover brownie bread covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat slices briefly in the microwave or pop them in the oven to enjoy that warm, fudgy goodness again!
