A twist on a holiday favorite – the chocolate orange. Sweet bread made with real orange juice and zest, combined with white whole wheat flour, honey and dark chocolate chips. This chocolate orange bread is sure to be a holiday hit!
Have you ever had one of those chocolate oranges? I remember thinking those round chocolate balls were such a treat as a kid. I loved pulling one chocolate-y segment out at a time and enjoying it. Truth be told, I haven’t had one in years, but I have a nostalgic view of chocolate-orange combinations because of them.
So, why not try and make a sweet bread with these fantastically festive flavors?And thus, the chocolate orange bread recipe was created!And I am so glad it exists because it is delicious! Admittedly, I am a huge sweet bread fan, especially when it includes chocolate, so this was sure to be a hit for me.
Marbled Chocolate Orange Bread
I love this recipe because it uses fresh orange! No extract, no store-bought juice, just real orange! Not only are oranges fresh and delicious, they are great for you. Oranges contain lots of vitamin C and are a great source of fiber, potassium and folate.
And of course there’s the chocolate! We use dark chocolate because it really does have some health benefits (plus it compliments the orange!). Dark chocolate has antioxidants that havebeen shown to improve heart health, and the less processed the better. Isn’t it great to feel good about eating chocolate? Just make sure it’s dark!
Other healthier ingredients we chose to use include white whole wheat, honey, eggs, and vegetable oil. I love making homemade sweet bread because I can control the amount of sugar (I almost always add less than a recipe calls for), and I know there aren’t a bunch of extra preservatives.

Next, let’s work with oranges! You’ll need to zest your orange(s) first so that they don’t collapse as you do it. I made sure to just get the very outer edge of the orange peel because getting too much of the white part makes it more bitter. So quickly zest a spot and move on rapidly.
Once you’ve zested 1 tablespoon of zest (make sure to really pack it into the tablespoon), juice your oranges. I just cut mine in half and squeezed them over a bowl, but I know there are some fancier ways to juice. Juice however you want, just get about 1/2 cup of juice.
I used 1 1/2 oranges to get the juice and zest I needed, but if you have a large enough orange you may just need one.

Once the orange ingredients are prepped, simply combine your dry ingredients in a medium bowl and your wet ingredients in a large bowl. Add the dry to the wet and mix everything up until it’s evenly mixed and then fold in your dark chocolate chips. I used “chunks” but it doesn’t really matter the shape of the chocolate.
Pour the batter into your loaf pan, stick it in the oven, and set your timer for 40 minutes. Check by sticking a toothpick in, and bake for 5 more minutes if it doesn’t come out of the center clean of batter. Once the loaf is out of the oven, allow it to cool a bit.
Enjoy this bread warm or room temperature – I like it both ways. Store in an airtight container for up to two days on the counter.

If you’re eating it within an hour or so, you can squeeze some fresh orange juice on top for a little extra orange flavor. I really enjoyed it this way, just be careful not to do too much and to eat it quickly so it doesn’t get soggy.

Chocolate Orange Bread
One of my favorite flavor fusions is chocolate and orange so these will definitely be worth a try for me....thank you for sharing.Cocoa sourdough has been quite the hype recently on Instagram. I was intrigued by all the nice loaves and flavor combos that bread enthusiast keep posting everyday. I so wanted to try the cocoa addition, but I has to postpone it as my list of ‘to-be-baked’ has already too long.
I only get to bake a bread once a week now, with a full time job. When I see photos of mini bakeries and people who bake several breads at a time, I actually miss my job in the baking industry. Even though short, about a year and a half, I truly enjoyed baking hundreds of loaves and sometimes just watching the bread being made. I hope to write about that in a separate post, how i decided to switch careers in order to do what I’m passionate about.
Back to cocoa adventure. Having lived in Australia for some-time, long enough I guess, I fell in love with the Jaffa cookies or the flavor to be exact. I think chocolate and orange are a match made in heaven. I have made cakes, cookies, slices, desserts and all sorts of things with this flavor combo. Out of all, chocolate dipped candied orange has got to be my favorite. So this is how the idea of cocoa and orange sourdough came to be.
Gluten Free Chocolate Orange Cake Recipe (dairy Free Option)
The basic 50% rye bread recipe is tweaked a little to achieve this. I have added 40 g of unsweetened cocoa tog the chocolate flavor and color. cocoa tend to be a little bit bitter, so to balance that, two table spoons of molasses is added. Zest of two whole oranges is what gives the orange scent. I have upped the water content too as cocoa absorbs moisture.
Also I have added 2 tablespoons of strong coffee, hoping to intensify the chocolate flavor. To be honest, I didn’t think it made a difference, but I can’t really know until I make another one without coffee. So, that to a later date.
I think, you can be creative here and try to incorporate something extra to this bread too. Some ideas would be, orange peel, some dried fruits, or even candied orange pieces. I am planning to redo this recipe with nuts, and if it turned out to be good, the recipe will be shared of course.Easy chocolate orange marbled quick bread recipe, flavored with chocolate and orange zest and decorated with candied oranges, this quick bread is absolutely delicious!
