Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bread after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and flavor.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, creating a rich base for the batter.
  4. Add Milk to Wet Ingredients: Gradually pour the whole milk into the wet ingredient mixture, stirring continuously until fully combined and smooth. This step helps achieve the proper batter consistency.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb; it’s okay if the batter looks slightly lumpy.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter, ensuring they are well distributed for pockets of melty chocolate in every bite.
  7. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top, creating an even surface for baking.
  8. Add Brown Sugar Topping (Optional): Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the batter’s surface for a slightly caramelized and sweet topping once baked.
  9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center — it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing sogginess and helping it set properly.
  11. Serve: Slice and serve the bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the soft texture and gooey chocolate with each bite.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and fluffy.
  • You can use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips based on your preference.
  • The brown sugar topping is optional but adds a nice caramelized flavor and slight crunch.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk and butter with a vegan butter alternative.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
