Hot Fudge Brownie Bread
250kcal
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Optional Add-Ins
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts optional
- 0.5 cups chocolate chips optional
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, drizzle half of the hot fudge sauce over the batter, then repeat with the remaining batter and fudge. Use a knife to gently swirl the mixture for a marbled effect.
Baking
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm, ideally topped with extra hot fudge or a scoop of ice cream.

Notes
You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free option. Coconut sugar can be used in place of granulated sugar for a healthier alternative. Feel free to add in your favorite mix-ins, such as dried fruits or different nuts. You can also substitute the walnuts with pecans or omit them entirely for a nut-free version. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave for a few seconds, or slice and toast in the oven.
