This decadent Chocolate Bread is infused with espresso and chocolate chips for a quick bread that satisfies your chocolate cravings for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Or try a slice with whipped cream and berries for a simple yet delicious dessert.
It seems like lately I have had a lot of people around me who need some cheering up. I don’t know what’s in the air these days, but it feels like everyone has had something going on.
One of the easiest ways for me to spread some love is by sharing baked goods. And quick breads are always a hit!
Chocolate Quick Bread Recipe: How To Make It
Sometimes I will make a big batch of quick bread and freeze a few loaves, that way I have something on hand that I can pull out and take to a friend or neighbor when they are sick, have just had a baby, or simply need a pick-me-up.
Lately, this chocolate bread has been one of my favorite pick-me-up recipes. It’s super rich and decadent and makes you feel better with just one bite.
Quick breads are breads that use baking powder or baking soda as leaveners instead of yeast. Since they don’t contain any yeast, they don’t need to rise and can be prepared quickly. Thus, quick bread!
Marbled Banana Bread
Muffins, scones, and biscuits are all types of quick bread recipes, along with breads baked in a loaf pan such as this chocolate bread.
Even though this recipe bakes for over an hour, you can have these loaves in the oven within 15 minutes or so, so the hands-on time is very minimal. In fact, recipes like this are great to make with kids or beginner bakers because they’re so simple to make!
If you like to bake, and especially if you’re a chocolate lover, you may already have everything you need to make these loaves of chocolate bread in your pantry already./
French Chocolate Bread Recipe
If you’ve made what I believe to be the best chocolate cake recipe, you’ll recognize why there’s a bit of instant espresso in this recipe.
A bit of coffee in chocolate-based recipes helps enrich and deepen the chocolate flavor. But it won’t make this bread taste like chocolate!
But don’t worry –you can always skip the espresso if you’d like. Simply leave out the espresso mixture and the bread will still be amazing!
One Bowl Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe By Tasty
Start by preparing your pans. Grab two 8×4-inch loaf pans and spray them with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pans with parchment paper and then spray the parchment as well. This will ensure a clean release after the bread has cooled.
Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, oil, eggs, vanilla, and espresso mixture (if using) and beat this together with an electric mixer.
In a separate bowl, toss the chocolate morsels or chips with 2 tablespoons of flour. Doing this will help keep the chips from sinking right to the bottom of the loaves!
Chocolate Chip Bread
After the bread has fully baked, let the loaves cool in the pans for 20 minutes before turning them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Serve your chocolate bread for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. You can even top it with some homemade whipped cream and fresh berries for a simple yet delicious dessert!
Just like my pumpkin chocolate chip bread, I think this bread is actually even better the next day. You can keep this bread, well wrapped, at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Chocolate Braided Swirl Bread (babka) Recipe By Tasty
You can wrap an entire loaf of chocolate bread and freeze it whole or cut it into thick slices and freeze them individually. Either way, wrap the bread in a layer of plastic wrap or foil and place in a zip-top freezer bag.
Freeze the bread for up to 3 months. Let it thaw at room temperature or pop a slice in the microwave for 30-60 seconds to enjoy a warm, gooey piece of chocolate bread at a moment’s notice.
Love the recipe! Would like to try this some time! Looks good and delicious! Thanks for this recipe and the nutrition informations, too!

Hello! I haven’t attempted this recipe with this adjustment, so I am not sure of the result. If you happen to give it a try, I’d love to know how it turned out. Thanks so much for stopping by. -Jamie

The only thing truly bread-like about this quick chocolate bread is it’s shape but I’m totally ok with that because chocolate bread is basically cake that you can eat for breakfast.
If you love a good chocolate cake then you’ll definitely love this Blackberry Chocolate Cake and this gorgeous Chocolate Mud Cake too.
Pumpkin Bread Recipe (no Mixer!)
Also known as chocolate loaf cake, this is one of those recipes you make for a delicious, sweet breakfast or morning tea – a little like a muffin – but since it’s in the shape of a loaf of bread and is cut into slices, you can absolutely feel good about it.
It requires no decoration, though you could add a chocolate ganache like on this marble loaf cake for a super decadent cake.
Wouldn’t this be amazing served up for Easter brunch because clearly we need more chocolate at Easter, right? You might also love this ginger loaf cake.
Prepare A Delicious Chocolate Bread At Home
While this is known in some places as chocolate bread, you might also know it as chocolate loaf cake. It is basically a chocolate cake in bread form. While some recipes contain yeast, making them a genuine bread recipe, this style is a quick bread meaning it just uses baking powder and soda for the rise.
Chocolate quick bread also contains sugar, flour eggs – which makes it much closer to a cake and is made similar to muffins. This particular recipe is very similar to my Pistachio Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins. It’s rich in chocolate flavour, is fluffy and moist and has a good dose of chocolate chips.
The best part of this recipe is definitely how simple it is to make. Oh and of course it tastes amazing. Just 15 minutes and two bowls with simple everyday ingredients and you have yourself a decadent chocolate treat.
Chocolate Loaf Bread Recipe
This recipe differs slightly from the video. Readers who made the recipe previously seemed to be equally divided into two camps – “Love it, it’s perfect” and “it turned out dry”. To make this cake totally foolproof I’ve made two changes and it works out more moist and still flavourful. The butter has been swapped for oil and the milk swapped for buttermilk. While it loses a touch of richness from losing the butter, it is still a divine cake, super chocolatey and beautifully moist. It turns out looking exactly the same, hence photos have not been changed. Changes took affect from 30 Nov 22.
This cake is lovely served still a little warm, while the chocolate chips are still a bit gooey, or serve it at room temperature once they’ve fully set again.
This bread freezes well too. It’s best to slice it up and wrap each slice individually in plastic wrap, then store them all in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

It’s delicious at room temperature or warmed up and is lovely topped with a slather of salted butter or topped with ice cream for a decadent dessert. If you want to toast it, add just a little butter to a frying pan and cook for a minute or two on each side, then serve with ice cream.
Quick Chocolate Bread is super simple and great as a sweet breakfast or brunch – think Mothers Day or Easter – and works just as well as a dessert. I know you and your family will love this one.
