Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoons Orange zest (from 1 large orange)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.25 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and orange zest. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar until fragrant and well-mixed.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, eggs, orange juice, milk, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth and well-combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender bread.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your Orange Chocolate Chip Bread, either on its own or with a light drizzle of orange glaze for an extra touch!
