Grease it well and line the bottom with parchment paper. This will help you take out the bread later. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Use 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk them together until they are fully blended. Set this aside for later. Now, in a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Start with 1/2 cup of melted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Use a whisk to combine these until smooth. Then, add 2 large eggs, one at a time. Mix well after each one. Finish by stirring in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Take the dry mixture and slowly fold it into the wet mixture. Use a spatula to mix gently. Be careful not to overmix, as this makes the bread soft and fudgy. Next, fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of hot fudge sauce. Make sure they mix in evenly, but again, don't overwork the batter. If you want, add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Place it in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs. Once baked, let the brownie bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, move it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps keep its shape. Slice while warm for that gooey goodness. Drizzle extra hot fudge on top if you like. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a real treat! To get that perfect texture, you want your brownie bread to be soft and fudgy. Use room temperature eggs; this helps them mix better. Don’t overmix the batter when combining wet and dry ingredients. Instead, fold gently until just combined. This keeps the bread light and moist. One common mistake is using cold butter. It won’t blend well with sugar and can make your bread dense. Always melt your butter until it is warm, but not hot. Another mistake is overbaking. Keep an eye on the bread in the last few minutes. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not dry batter. Slice your hot fudge brownie bread while it's warm for the best taste. Drizzle extra hot fudge sauce over each slice for a rich treat. You can also pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream balances the warm chocolate flavors. For a fun twist, add a sprinkle of sea salt on top to enhance the sweetness. For the full recipe, check it out! {{image_4}} You can play with flavors to make this bread even more fun. Try adding mint extract for a fresh twist. Just use 1/2 teaspoon and mix it in with the wet ingredients. If you love coffee, add espresso powder. Just 1 tablespoon can bring a rich depth to the chocolate. You might also like orange zest, which adds a bright note. Experimenting with flavors keeps each loaf unique. Adapting this recipe for dietary needs is easy. For a vegan version, swap the eggs with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce. Use a plant-based butter for a creamy texture. Replace the chocolate chips with dairy-free ones. If you need a nut-free option, simply omit the nuts. This way, everyone can enjoy the chocolate delight without worry. You can make your brownie bread festive for the holidays. Add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm taste. This is perfect for winter celebrations. Try folding in dried cranberries or chopped candied ginger for a seasonal touch. For a fun twist, drizzle white chocolate on top for a snowy look. Your Hot Fudge Brownie Bread can become a holiday favorite with just a few tweaks. For the complete recipe, check out the Full Recipe section.

Place the slices on a baking sheet and heat them for about 10 minutes. You can also microwave individual slices for about 15-20 seconds. If you like it warm and gooey, drizzle some hot fudge over the top before serving. This will make it even more delicious and inviting! To slice brownie bread, wait until it cools. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts. Cut in straight, even strokes. This helps keep the edges neat and prevents squishing. Always slice while it's slightly warm for the best texture. Yes, you can! Dark chocolate gives a rich taste. Milk chocolate adds sweetness. You might also try white chocolate for a fun twist. Just make sure to adjust the sugar to balance the flavor. Check for doneness at 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, it's ready. If wet batter clings to it, bake for a few more minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking. Ice cream is a classic choice. Vanilla or coffee flavors pair well. You can also top it with whipped cream or extra hot fudge. Fresh berries add a nice contrast and brighten the dish. You can prepare the batter ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just mix it before baking.

Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it generously and lining the bottom with parchment paper to ensure easy removal later.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until they are fully blended. Set this dry mixture aside for later use.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar using a whisk or mixer until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture. Next, add the eggs one at a time; mix well after each addition to ensure everything is well incorporated. Finish by stirring in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Mixtures: Slowly fold the prepared dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to mix gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this will help maintain a soft and fudgy texture in your bread.

          Incorporate Chocolate and Fudge: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips and hot fudge sauce, making sure they are evenly distributed without overworking the batter. If you choose to use nuts, add them at this stage and fold them in gently.

            Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.

              Cool: Once baked, remove the brownie bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, which will help set its structure.

                Serve: Slice the brownie bread while it’s still slightly warm for that gooey decadence. Drizzle extra hot fudge over the top if desired, and serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate your dessert experience to new heights!
