Mint Chocolate Fudge Brownie Bread – Page 2

Instructions

Prepare the Bread Batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and heavy cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips (or regular chocolate chips and peppermint extract).

Bake the Bread

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are okay, but it should not be wet).
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Mint Chocolate Fudge Sauce

While the bread is cooling, make the mint chocolate fudge sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth and melted.
Stir in the peppermint extract for that refreshing minty flavor. Let the sauce cool slightly before drizzling over the bread.

Drizzle & Serve

Once the bread has cooled completely, drizzle the mint chocolate fudge sauce over the top.
Slice and serve, enjoying the rich, fudgy texture and minty sweetness.

Tips & Variations

Make it Extra Minty: For a stronger mint flavor, add a few extra drops of peppermint extract to the bread batter or fudge sauce.
Add a Crunch: Top the bread with a handful of crushed peppermint candies or crushed Oreos for an added crunch and a festive look.
Swap the Milk: Use almond milk or soy milk as a dairy-free alternative to make this bread vegan-friendly (though note, you’ll need to swap the butter and heavy cream as well).
Freeze for Later: This bread freezes wonderfully! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave for a warm, fudgy treat.
