Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Create a dry foundation by whisking flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium mixing bowl until uniformly blended.
- Transform wet ingredients into a smooth emulsion by vigorously beating egg, milk, and vegetable oil in a separate large bowl until thoroughly integrated.
- Merge the dry and wet mixtures by gradually introducing flour mixture into liquid components. Stir gently, avoiding aggressive mixing to maintain a tender bread texture.
- Enhance the bread’s decadence by carefully folding chocolate chips throughout the batter. Reserve a small portion of chips for decorative topping.
- Transfer the silky batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread evenly. Artfully scatter remaining chocolate chips across the surface for visual appeal and extra chocolate bursts.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven, allowing the bread to bake for 50-60 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean with no raw batter.
- Let the freshly baked bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, allowing it to stabilize. Carefully extract and place on a wire rack to complete cooling.
- Once completely cooled, slice the bread into inviting portions, revealing a moist interior studded with melted chocolate chips, ready to be savored.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality chocolate chips to enhance the rich, indulgent flavor and ensure a more luxurious taste experience.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free flour blend for those with gluten sensitivities, maintaining the bread’s soft texture.
- Reduce sugar content by using dark chocolate chips, which naturally provide sweetness while adding depth to the overall flavor profile.
- Experiment with mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit to create unique variations and add extra nutritional value to the bread.
