Description
This soft, moist chocolate chip bread is the kind of quick loaf that makes breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack feel extra cozy.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (mini chocolate chips work especially well)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add half of the dry ingredient mixture, then half of the buttermilk, stirring just until combined; repeat with remaining dry ingredients and buttermilk, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Slice and serve for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or a sweet snack.
Notes
Use mini chocolate chips for better distribution and to help prevent sinking. Don’t overmix for a softer bread.
