How to make Brownie Bread

Brownie Bread is simple to prepare. You only need a few ingredients and some basic steps. In no time, you will have a warm and tasty loaf ready to enjoy.

Ingredients :

– 1 cup milk chocolate chips
– 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon kosher salt
– 3 large eggs, room temperature
– 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 3/4 cup water
– 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (for ganache)
– 1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions :

1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9×5 inch metal loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Add the milk chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. In a stand mixer, add the eggs and sugar, and beat until light and fluffy for about 5 minutes.
5. With the mixer on low, add the melted chocolate, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until no lumps remain.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 85-90 minutes. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few crumbs, not wet batter.
8. Allow the bread to cool completely before adding the ganache.
9. For the ganache, place the chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium-high heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
10. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute or two before stirring until melted.
11. Allow the ganache to cool and thicken slightly before drizzling it over the cooled bread.
12. Let set for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
