Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients – In another bowl, mix the sugar, eggs, melted butter (or oil), milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips – Toss the chocolate chips in a bit of flour before stirring them into the batter to prevent sinking.
- Pour and Bake – Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve – Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For extra richness, use brown sugar instead of white.
- Swap butter for coconut oil for a subtle flavor twist.
- If using whole wheat flour, replace only half the flour to keep the bread from becoming too dense.
