Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan thoroughly to ensure the bread doesn’t stick and is easy to remove after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This ensures your leavening agents are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
- Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter, ensuring every bite has delicious pockets of chocolate.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula for even baking.
- Bake: Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use mini chocolate chips for better distribution throughout the bread.
- Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking for an attractive finish and extra chocolate goodness.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to avoid a dense bread texture.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
