Hot Fudge Brownie Bread

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be gentle—overmixing can make the bread tough. Once combined, stir in chocolate chips for extra melty pockets of chocolate throughout the loaf.

Step 5: Bake the Brownie Bread

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula for even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly moist (a little fudgy is perfect—don’t overbake!).

Step 6: Prepare the Hot Fudge

While the bread is baking, make the hot fudge topping:

1. In a small saucepan, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter.
2. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy.
3. Remove from heat and set aside.

The warm fudge will melt beautifully over the freshly baked bread.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Once the brownie bread is baked, allow it to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Slice thick pieces, drizzle generously with hot fudge, and serve warm.

For an extra indulgent touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The combination of warm, fudgy bread and creamy ice cream is heavenly.

Tips for the Perfect Hot Fudge Brownie Bread

1. Do not overbake: The goal is fudgy, not dry. Check at 40 minutes.
2. Room temperature eggs: They blend better with butter and milk, giving smoother batter.
3. Customize: Add nuts, caramel drizzle, or white chocolate chips for variety.
4. Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Warm slices slightly before serving.
