Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup white granulated sugar (or light brown sugar)
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (vitamin D, whole, 2% or almond)
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil

Add-ins

  • 1½ cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk chocolate or dark chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 1-pound loaf pan thoroughly or use alternatives such as a silicone loaf pan or line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer, beat the egg, milk, and vegetable oil together until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined and the batter is moist; avoid over-mixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips carefully, reserving ¼ cup to sprinkle on top of the batter later for an attractive finish and extra chocolate goodness.
  6. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, filling it about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top. Bake in the center of the oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps set the bread and makes slicing neater.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a 1-pound loaf pan, a 9×5-inch loaf pan is a good alternative.
  • You can substitute almond milk for dairy milk to make it dairy-free.
  • For variety, try different types of chocolate chips such as dark, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate.
  • Store leftover bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
