Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz unsalted butter, melted
- 6 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free needs)
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free hot fudge brownie bread recipe)
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
- hot fudge sauce (choose organic ingredients if possible)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or high-quality dark chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Prep Oven And Pan: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan for easy release.
- Melt Chocolate And Butter: In a large bowl, melt 6 oz butter and 6 oz dark chocolate until smooth and glossy.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk in 1 cup granulated sugar and 0.25 cup brown sugar. Add 3 eggs, then 2 tsp vanilla and 0.5 cup milk.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 1.5 cups flour, 0.5 cup cocoa, 1 tsp baking soda, and 0.5 tsp sea salt.
- Blend Batter And Fold: Add dry ingredients to wet, mixing gently until just combined. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips. (If batter feels stiff, add 1-2 Tbsp milk.)
- Create Fudge Swirl: Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Dollop half the hot fudge sauce over the batter; swirl lightly. Add the remaining batter, then the rest of the fudge, swirling for distinct ribbons to create its signature look.
- Bake Brownie Bread: Bake for 50-60 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs. The top should appear set and cracked.
- Cool And Serve: Cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely before slicing this easy hot fudge brownie bread.
Notes
Always ensure your baking soda is fresh for optimal lift. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking enhances chocolate notes. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
