- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8" x 4" loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.

- Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan. Top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Place the loaf in your preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes.
- Remove the loaf from the oven. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Once cooled to room temperature, cut and enjoy!
