Description

This Chocolate Chip Pop Bread is a moist, sweet loaf perfect for breakfast or a snack. Loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips and a hint of vanilla, it features a tender crumb thanks to the combination of baking powder and eggs. The optional brown sugar topping adds a delightful caramelized crunch. Baked to a golden perfection in a loaf pan, this bread pairs wonderfully with coffee or a glass of milk.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

Other

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional, for topping)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined to ensure even rising.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. This helps create a tender texture.
  4. Incorporate Milk: Gradually add the whole milk to the wet ingredient mixture, stirring continuously until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined. It’s okay if the batter remains slightly lumpy; overmixing can toughen the bread.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter to ensure each slice is packed with chocolatey goodness.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
  8. Add Topping (Optional): Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter for a sweet, caramelized crust once baked.
  9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to settle, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  11. Serve: Enjoy the Chocolate Chip Pop Bread warm or at room temperature, perfect for breakfasts, snacks, or dessert.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.
  • The brown sugar topping is optional but adds a delightful caramelized crunch.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal from the pan.
  • Allow bread to cool completely before slicing for cleaner slices.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
