Not-So-Buttery Nutty Chocolate Brownie Bread

Not-So-Buttery Nutty Chocolate Brownie Bread

This "bread" is as easy to make as chocolate brownies. To be honest, it was my initial intention to make brownies, but the consistency of the finished product was a little lighter, less dense; I came to the conclusion that it's probably because I used less butter than most brownie recipes call for. There are times I can fool tasters into thinking that certain desserts I make aren't lowfat, the texture is pretty deceiving, not this time, though. Still, not all who wander in the world of recipe-making are lost! No, this was definitely not a failure, far from it.
Jose was having kind of a busy/stressful day at work/school today, and being the chocolate addict that he is, I knew I had to make something chocolatey to cheer him up...this worked! Yes, getting to lick the bowl filled with the remains of a chocolate bread dough is definitely a mood booster, but I know the bread also helped, since he did ask for one more piece of this brownie bread not long after finishing the first. I had a piece myself, and the best way I can describe it is with these words: light, not too sweet, and definitely not overly greasy.
So here's the recipe, I baked it in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes (I used a 9 by 13 inch baking dish)
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 whole eggs
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup milk
3 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp cream cheese
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup sweetened cocoa powder
1/3 of a 12 oz bag of chocolate chips
1 1/2 ounces walnut chips
