Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups (195g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk
  • 1 cup (170g) semisweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Oil a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment. Whisk sugar, oil, egg, vanilla, and buttermilk in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture. Stir just until no flour streaks remain.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips with a few turns. Scrape batter into the pan, smooth the top, and scatter extra chips on top.
  4. Bake 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  5. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

No buttermilk? Stir 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar into 1/2 cup whole milk, let it sit 5 minutes. The loaf keeps moist on the counter for 2 days but stays fresher in the fridge. Wait until the loaf is fully cool before wrapping to avoid excess moisture.
