Questions I often get asked about this recipe:
Can I use a different type of flour?
While all-purpose flour works best for this recipe, you can experiment with alternative flours like whole wheat or gluten-free flour blends. Keep in mind that the texture and flavor may vary.
Can I substitute the sugar with a sugar alternative?
Yes, you can substitute granulated sugar with a sugar alternative like coconut sugar or a sugar substitute blend. Just be aware that this may alter the taste and texture slightly.
Can I freeze brownie bread?
Yes, brownie bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil before placing it in an airtight container or freezer bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, you can double the recipe to make two loaves of brownie bread. Simply double all the ingredients and bake them in separate loaf pans or a larger baking dish.
What you need to make Brownie Bread:
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for added richness)
How to make it:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, mix together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownie bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. Dutch-processed cocoa will give your brownie bread a deeper, richer chocolate taste.
Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tougher texture. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
Experiment with add-ins. While chocolate chips are a classic addition, you can also try adding nuts, dried fruit, or even a swirl of peanut butter for extra flavor and texture.
Let it cool completely before slicing. Brownie bread is best enjoyed when it has had time to cool and set, allowing the flavors to develop fully.
