Description

This Hot Fudge Brownie Bread is a decadent, chocolatey treat that combines the rich flavors of brownies with the comforting texture of bread. Made with melted butter, cocoa powder, and ample hot fudge sauce, it delivers a moist, fudgy crumb that’s perfect for dessert or a special snack. The optional addition of chocolate chips adds extra bursts of chocolate in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth and well blended for a creamy base.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform and slightly fluffy.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and prevent lumps.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Fold in hot fudge: Carefully fold the hot fudge sauce into the batter ensuring it is evenly incorporated to add fudgy pockets in the bread.
  7. Add chocolate chips (optional): If using, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks for added chocolate texture and richness.
  8. Pour and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely for easier slicing.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure a tender crumb.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for best mixing results.
  • Check doneness early to avoid overbaking and drying out the bread.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For extra fudginess, drizzle additional warm hot fudge sauce over slices before serving.
