- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Cream softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes.
- Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the mixture; mix until well combined.
- Gradually add in all-purpose flour, mixing gently until just combined.
- Toss chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour and fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and optionally sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For an optional finishing touch, drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
