Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk
- 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease 8 mini loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf pans, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the mini loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. If needed, add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time to reach the desired consistency.
Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled mini loaves. Let the glaze set for about 15 minutes before serving.
