Here’s a rich, chocolatey Hot Fudge Brownie Bread recipe—moist like banana bread but fudgy like a brownie, with ribbons of hot fudge baked right in.
🍫 Hot Fudge Brownie Bread
Ingredients (1 loaf)
Dry:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet:
- 1/2 cup melted butter (or oil)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra richness)
Add-ins:
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper. - Mix dry ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. - Mix wet ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in milk. - Combine:
Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using. - Layer with fudge:
Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Drizzle half the hot fudge over it and gently swirl with a knife. Add remaining batter and swirl in the remaining fudge. - Bake:
Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). - Cool & serve:
Let cool in pan 15 minutes before transferring to a rack. Drizzle extra warm hot fudge over slices when serving.
Tips & Variations
- Extra fudgy: Slightly underbake by a few minutes.
- Add nuts: Chopped walnuts or pecans add texture.
- Ice cream pairing: Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a brownie sundae vibe.
- Espresso boost: Add 1 tsp instant espresso powder to enhance chocolate flavor.
This bread is dense, chocolatey, and indulgent—perfect for dessert or a sweet snack.
If you’d like, I can also give you a boxed brownie mix shortcut version that’s even easier.
