Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack in the eggs and pour the vanilla extract, then mix well until the batter is uniform and slightly glossy.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the loaf to cool completely in the pan before slicing to maintain its fudgy texture.
Notes
- Do not overbake to retain a moist and fudgy texture inside.
- Optionally dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish.
- Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Store leftover brownie bread in an airtight container to keep it moist.
