Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and granulated sugar until thoroughly combined.
In another medium bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
Stir the buttermilk and unsweetened applesauce into the wet ingredients until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the chocolate chip bread as is, or lightly toasted with a spread of your choice.
