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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and granulated sugar until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
In another medium bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
Step 4
Stir the buttermilk and unsweetened applesauce into the wet ingredients until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve the chocolate chip bread as is, or lightly toasted with a spread of your choice.
