Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Brownie Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan with baking spray and parchment paper.
  2. Melt semi-sweet chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Beat together large eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer for 4 to 4.5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  5. Gently mix in the melted chocolate, whole milk, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently, then fold in the remaining melted butter until fully integrated.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 55–60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick that should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow the Brownie Bread to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overmixing to maintain the fudginess. Use room temperature ingredients for optimal batter consistency. Check baking soda freshness to ensure proper rise, and always cool the bread completely before slicing.
