Combine Everything

  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Add Chocolate Chips

  1. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.

Bake

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool & Serve

  1. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack. Slice and enjoy!
