Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Bread Ingredients
- 1 box (18–19 oz) brownie mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Mix-Ins and Topping
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bread once baked.
- Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the ingredients just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- Fold in Fudge and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the hot fudge sauce and semi-sweet chocolate chips, taking care not to overmix, which preserves a tender crumb and pockets of gooey fudge.
- Pour and Smooth Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Bake the Bread: Bake the loaf for 50–60 minutes. Start checking at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached. If the top browns too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or slightly warm. Drizzle with additional warm hot fudge sauce before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Best served slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
- Store the bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- You can refrigerate leftovers for up to one week to extend freshness.
