1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan well, or line the bottom with parchment paper. Stir dry ingredients in a large bowl, then add in wet to form a batter. Spread into the prepared pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over top if you wish. Bake 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. (If your loaf is cooking too fast on the top, you can loosely cover with foil and continue to bake until the center is no longer undercooked.) Carefully remove from the oven and let cool. If you can wait, the taste and texture are even better the next day!View Nutrition Facts
