Chocolate Stout Brownie Bread, one bowl and just a few minutes!
I’ve been inundation you with posts lately, please give me a pass. You’re my therapy, truly. Cooking you things, and baking you a loaf cake that I call "bread" because it doesn’t sound as bad calling it a cake, is the way I’m coping with all of this.
I’m sitting here in Seattle, the hotbed of uncertainty, and all I can think about is keeping busy while not leaving my house. So this equals cooking and baking. Baking all the things, and spoiling myself with a beerified-chocolate cake that’s masquerading as bread.
But this is what we have to do. We have to spoil ourselves and those sheltered in place with us with things we wouldn’t normally let ourselves indulge in. Everything is suspended: events, concerts, office life, diets, low self-esteem.
Indulging in chocolate is not suspended, it’s back on the air and bigger than ever. This bread-not-cake-I-swear is super easy, it takes about 5 minutes to get it into your oven and about an hour to get it into your face. And you have earned yourself a loaf of this stuff, and you are not allowed to feel guilty about it because that has been suspended, too.

I’m totally making this as soon as the kid goes to bed! I only have Greek yogurt, will it be ok instead on sour cream?

Yes, I think so! I almost made it with Greek yogurt but I assumed more people would have sour cream on hand.

Looks good, also looks like I might have to try a coffee stout in it. Thanks!

Bless you Jackie! Baking right now is my 16 year old’s 'therapy' and beer is well, mine of course – so this is perfect for both of us, can’t wait to try it!!
Have loved your site and delicious recipes for years, and your bright light of inspiration that shines through in these dark & uncertain times is very appreciated!
Karen 🙂

Thanks for this great recipe! I made this and it turned out really well. The only changes I made were to swap whole fat Greek yogurt for the sour cream and I only used 1/4 teaspoon of salt as 1 teaspoon seemed like a lot of salt. The bread came out nice and chocolaty and was so easy to make!

We loved this bread-cake at our house. I think the next time I will add more chocolate chips just ’cause! We used an oatmeal stout languishing in our pantry. I would suggest checking for doneness sooner than time posted in recipe. . . mine was a tad over-baked, but still delicious. Thank you, Jackie, I really enjoy your blog! Take care, we’re alone yet in this together.

Loved this recipe! I used a coffee stout from colombia, that’s where I live… but it came out kind of dry, the beer is really sweet to be a stout so IDK if this influenced the final result.. Still, honestly it tasted goood
