- Incredibly moist and fudgy
- Made with real hot fudge sauce
- Easy to mix and bake—no fancy equipment required
- Great for gifting, freezing, or midnight snacking
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup hot fudge sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, making sure everything is smooth and well incorporated.
5. Combine Wet and Dry
Alternate adding the dry mixture and the buttermilk to the creamed mixture, starting and ending with the dry. Stir just until combined—don’t overmix!
6. Swirl in Fudge
Gently fold in the hot fudge sauce. You want streaks of fudge running through the batter—so just a few folds will do!
7. Add Extras (Optional)
Fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts, if using.
8. Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a little gooeyness is okay—it’s brownie bread!).
9. Cool & Serve
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with warm hot fudge sauce before slicing for maximum gooey goodness!
Tips & Serving Ideas
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla or salted caramel ice cream
- Toast a slice and spread with peanut butter for a decadent snack
- Want extra chocolatey goodness? Add mini chocolate chips into the batter and on top before baking
- Wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 2 months
Storage
Keep your brownie bread covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. It gets even fudgier the next day!
