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

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1-pound loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can use parchment paper or a silicone loaf pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set this dry mixture aside.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or using a stand mixer, beat the egg, milk, and vegetable oil together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add Dry to Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just moistened. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1¼ cups of the chocolate chips to the batter, reserving ¼ cup for topping.
Fill Pan and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, filling it only about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter. Place the pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can substitute the 1 cup of sugar with light brown sugar for a richer flavor and moist texture.
If you don’t have a 1-pound loaf pan, a slightly larger or smaller pan will work; adjust baking time slightly if needed.
Milk alternatives such as almond milk work well for a dairy-free option.
For a fun variation, add ½ cup chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips.
Store leftover bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
