BUTTERMILK CHOCOLATE BREAD
Buttermilk chocolate bread is delicious with coffee or milk.
Buttermilk chocolate bread will satisfy your chocolate cravings for sure. I love it with butter on it while it is still hot. Milk is also necessary.
Ingredients for buttermilk chocolate bread:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup chocolate chips
2/3 Â cup walnuts or nuts of your choice
In a bowl, combine sugar and margarine; blend well with mixer. Add eggs; continue mixing. Add buttermilk, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; blend just until all ingredients are wet. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Pour into sprayed 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 55 – 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes; remove from pan. Enjoy!

Wow, delish! This recipe is a keeper for sure!
Delicious! Now that I’ve followed the recipe exactly, I’m going to make a couple changes 1) will use mini chocolate chips or maybe white chocolate chips; and going along with that, will toss them with a little of the flour mixture to keep them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf and maybe that will help with distribution.
2) Will bake it earlier in the day, so it’s cooled completely by the time I want to slice it up.
This is definitely going into my quick bread rotation.
can i use self rising flour?
I’ve never made it that way but it may work fine. Thanks!
Wow this bread is amazing! I used white whole wheat flour to make it a bit healthier. I will definitely add this one to my recipe book.
Wonderful!! So glad it was a hit!
Hi, I am making this and there are all different kinds of chocolate chips. Are you using semi sweet, milk chocolate, bittersweet chocolate chips? I printed the recipe and want to make notes.
You can use whatever you like, I normally just use what I have on hand which is the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
I feel slightly bad, I made this but haven’t tried it yet. I made it with the sole purpose of giving it away, and whatever is left we will certainly feast on.
So my review is based on how easy it was to put together, and how yummy it smelled (that is a good sign!) And it looked wonderful as well.
I used 3 mini loaf pans, 35 minutes bake time. I also used mini choc chips; that makes the bread easier to slice. And no walnuts.
This is my new favorite bread. It’s amazing!
How is this different from a chocolate cake?
The bread is a little more chewy than cake and the texture is a little different but it tastes like cake, Jenny.
Hi!! This chocolate bread sounds divine!! Going to make soon….but I was wondering…do you ever add any vanilla flavoring or any other flavoring ……I bake a lot and it is rare I find a recipe for something sweet without any flavoring of some kind.
Do you think adding vanilla flavoring to this recipe would be okay???
I think that would be fine Kimberley go ahead and add it to the recipe if you want.
Thanks…I will let you know how it turns out! Merry Christmas to you and your family too!
Have you made this as mini loaves? Would like to make to give away as gifts. Cooking time I guess would change? Sounds delish!
I have not made the mini loaves but you are right and it would make a great gift. I would just cook about 10 minutes less and check centers about 10 minutes before regular cooking time. Good luck and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
W O W….chocolate bread….Y U M
Could you used Hershey’s Cocoa instead of the chocolate chips? Thanks.
I only make it by the recipe.
I want to make a dessert to freeze and would love to make this. Do you think this is freezable? Thanks!
I have not tried freezing it but I think you could do so, Rebecca.
Made it today and it is so good! Can’t wait to share it with my friends. 🙂
This is a lot like the chocolate amish bread I’ve made in the past.
I feel a sin coming on!
It was quite yummy!
Oh my, that big glass of milk just seals the deal too. I always have buttermilk on hand to make bread. I just love this recipe.
Chocolate Bread! I think I’ve died and gone to Heaven.
