Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free flour blend
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the loaf.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the milk and vegetable oil, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Once the batter is combined, gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the loaf and enjoy your delicious gluten-free chocolate chip loaf! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Always use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend to ensure the best texture and taste.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For extra moisture, consider adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk to help ingredients blend more smoothly.
- Check your loaf a few minutes early - gluten-free bakes can sometimes cook faster than traditional recipes.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing to help it set and prevent crumbling.
- For added richness, try using dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
