Description

This delicious Chocolate Chip Pop Bread is a soft, moist loaf packed with rich chocolate chips and a hint of vanilla. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack, it combines a tender crumb with the delightful melt of semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips throughout. An optional brown sugar topping adds a subtle caramelized crunch, making this bread irresistible.

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

Additional Ingredients

  • 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 ensure easy removal of the bread after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until they are well combined. This will ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. This mixture forms the base of your batter.
  4. Add Milk to Wet Mixture: Gradually stir in the whole milk to the wet ingredients, incorporating it thoroughly without overbeating. This helps create a moist and tender texture in the bread.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined. It’s okay if the batter remains slightly lumpy; overmixing can make the bread tough.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter to ensure every slice is filled with delicious chocolate.
  7. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
  8. Add Optional Topping: Sprinkle the optional 1/4 cup brown sugar evenly over the batter’s surface to create a slightly caramelized topping once baked.
  9. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
  10. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to set, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
  11. Serve: Enjoy the Chocolate Chip Pop Bread warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea as a sweet treat anytime.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and fluffy.
  • You can substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative for a lactose-free version.
  • Using parchment paper to line the pan makes removal easier and cleaner.
  • For a crunchier topping, you can add chopped nuts along with the brown sugar topping.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
