How to Make Chocolate Chip Bread | Akudo's Kitchen

butter

🥗Healthier: applesauce

💰Cheaper: margarine

Applesauce reduces fat and calories while adding moisture.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: chocolate chunks

Dark chocolate offers a richer flavor with less sugar.

nuts

🥗Healthier: seeds

💰Cheaper: none

Seeds maintain crunch and flavor while being nut-free.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories; water can hydrate without adding calories.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a loaf pan and set aside.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips and nuts, if using.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
