- ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prepare for baking the brownie bread.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.

- Pour Batter Into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch and flavor.
- Swirl Nutella or peanut butter into the batter before baking for extra decadence.
- For a fudgier texture, check the bread at 40 minutes and slightly underbake it if desired.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for richer chocolate flavor.
