Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat and Prepare

• Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal after baking.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully incorporated. This ensures the dry ingredients are evenly distributed for an even rise in your bread.

Combine Wet Ingredients

• In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth. Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is well combined, creating a moist and flavorful batter.

Add the Dry Ingredients to the Wet

• Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, blending gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—lumps are perfectly fine, but overmixing can create a dense texture.

Fold in the Chocolate Chips

• Carefully fold in the chocolate chips so they’re evenly spread throughout the batter, ensuring every bite is packed with chocolatey goodness.

Bake to Perfection

• Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top to ensure an even surface. Bake the bread for 50-60 minutes or until the center is fully cooked through and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

• Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing—it will be easier to cut and hold its shape.
