Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour for the perfect structure and thickness
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder adds a deep, chocolatey richness
- 1/2 tsp baking powder helps the bread rise for a fluffy texture
- 1/2 tsp salt elevates the sweetness of the chocolate
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar for the perfect amount of sweetness
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed) adds moisture and depth to the flavor
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted) creates a moist and rich loaf
- 3 large eggs binds the ingredients and gives richness
- 1 tsp vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile
Chocolate Additions
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips provides extra bursts of chocolate goodness
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate (optional) intensifies the chocolate experience
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a loaf pan. Line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and optional chopped dark chocolate.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Serving
- Let the brownie bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift it out and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. Slice thickly and enjoy!
Notes
Consider adding nuts for a crunch or using high-quality cocoa powder for enhanced flavor. Allowing the bread to sit for several hours or overnight can deepen the flavors.
