Key Ingredients
Cocoa Powder: The backbone of that brownie flavor! Use good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich, chocolate flavor.
All-Purpose Flour: what gives the loaf its structure, while still keeping that lovely soft, tender crumb we want from brownies.
Butter: You’ll use melted butter because this recipe provides that splendid fudgy texture.
Brown Sugar: The use of molasses in brown sugar adds a richer, more caramelized sweetness and keeps the bread moist.
Eggs: Serve as a binder, providing structure and richness to the batter.
Milk or Buttermilk: Adds moisture and a touch of tang (if you’re using buttermilk), which helps balance the sweetness.
Chocolate Chips (Optional): Add semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate flavor. You won’t regret it!
