Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the egg, milk, and vegetable oil until thoroughly combined.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a denser loaf.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top of the batter before baking.
  6. Transfer and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
  • Variations: Feel free to add nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch, or substitute some of the chocolate chips with dried fruits for a different flavor profile.
