Preparation

- Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Gently stir in chocolate chips and optional chopped dark chocolate.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling
- Let the brownie bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift it out and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, slice thickly and serve.
Notes
For best results, consider adding a dash of espresso powder for enriched flavor. Mix in toasted nuts for added crunch. Top slices with whipped cream or serve with ice cream for a gourmet treat.
