The Triple Chocolate Delight
This brownie bread is a chocolate lover’s dream, featuring three types of chocolate for an intensely rich and satisfying treat:
1. Cocoa Powder: Delivers deep, rich chocolate flavor throughout the bread.
2. Melted Chocolate Chips: Ensures a fudgy texture and intense chocolate taste.
3. Whole Chocolate Chips: Stirred into the batter and sprinkled on top for delightful chocolate bursts in every bite.
Tips for Perfect Brownie Bread
• Melting Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips slowly in a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave to avoid burning.
let loaf cool in the oven: if you want a crust-y top (reminds me of the edge piece of a brownie!)
Extra Moisture: If you find your batter too thick, you can add a bit more coconut milk or yogurt to reach the desired consistency.
Serving Suggestions: Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent treat, or enjoy a slice with a cup of coffee for a perfect afternoon snack.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 C almond flour
- 1/4 C cocoa powder
- 1/4 C tapioca starch
- 1/4 C coconut flour
- 1/4 C refined melted coconut oil
- 1.5 tsp baking power
- 1/3 C full fat coconut milk or yogurt
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 C granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 C chocolate chips, divided *
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, tapioca starch, coconut flour, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
Combine the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, full-fat coconut milk (or yogurt), eggs, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
Mix Together:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add Chocolate:
- Melt 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and fold them into the batter. Stir in an additional 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
Pour and Top:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remainder of the chocolate chips on top for a delicious, melty topping.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the bread to remain fudgy. For a crust-y bread then oven off and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownie bread to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as desired.
