Double Chocolate Quick Bread

Double Chocolate Quick Bread is a soft and moist loaf combining cocoa powder and chocolate chips for a rich chocolate flavor. The recipe uses applesauce and oil to keep the bread tender, while baking powder and baking soda provide leavening for a light crumb. It's a quick bread requiring simple mixing and baking until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, making it suitable for chocolate lovers wanting a sweet baked treat without yeast.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9X5-inch baking pan and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

  4. Add the dry ingredients and pour the chocolate chips on top of the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is just combined (don't overmix!).
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 45-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before running a knife gently around the edges and turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
