Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the milk to the wet mixture and stir until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix—it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
- Add Chocolate Chips:
- Fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- (Optional) Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top for a slightly caramelized topping.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Notes
- Chocolate Chips: You can use semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips depending on your preference.
- Add-ins: Try adding a handful of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for extra texture.
- Make it Sweeter: If you prefer a sweeter loaf, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze individual slices for later enjoyment.
