Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease and flour the bottom and sides of 2 (9-by-5-inch) loaf pans. (You can use 4 mini loaf pans if you prefer.)

Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. With mixer at low speed, beat until well combined, scraping bowl often. Increase speed to high, and beat 4 to 5 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl. Add chocolate chips and mix well.

Pour batter into pans and bake 25 minutes, until surface turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If bread is not done, reduce oven temperature to 350F and continue baking 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool in pans 5 minutes.
