Chocolate Beer Bread! Move over banana bread, there is a new bread in town and it is here to stay!! This is so good, lots of chocolate flavor and chocolate chips and no one could ever guess it is made with beer! Crazy right? Well this recipe comes from my dear friend, Kathy, who is also someone who enjoys cooking and baking really good food! I work with Kathy at the high school and when we have a few moments together we find ourselves talking about our latest and greatest recipes. Kathy is a french teacher who loves to teach, travel, cook and spend time with good friends and family, I hope you enjoy Kathy’s recipe as much as I do!
INGREDIENTS
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 cup white sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon corn starch
3/4 cup chocolate chips
10 ounces chocolate beer (I used Decadent dark chocolate ale, but if you cannot find chocolate beer you can also use stout, but this will change the taste of the bread)
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 Tablespoons melted butter
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add flour, salt,cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, cornstarch and chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the beer and melted butter and stir until combined. This will be a thick batter. Pour into a loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick baking spray. Bake for 45 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool before slicing.
THANK YOU KATHY!
Recipe Note- after tasting this amazing chocolate beer I have decided this would be a great beverage to make a root beer float! Swap the root beer for the chocolate beer! Yup!! Just might have to try that!!
Enjoy!
