Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8x4-inch baking pan with a lightly greased piece of parchment paper. Make sure it hangs over the edges of the pan.

  • Mix in the lightly beaten eggs until the mixture is smooth and uniform. This will help bind all the ingredients.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Stir until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  • If you're using chocolate chips, now's the time to gently fold them in.

  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. It's done when the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, using the overhanging parchment paper, lift the loaf out and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
