Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract
- 3 drops Green food coloring
- 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peppermint candies (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly and then whisk in the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently to distribute them throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top of the cooled loaf with powdered sugar and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies for an extra festive touch.
Slice and serve your Green Peppermint Chocolate Loaf Dessert. Enjoy!
