Easy Yogurt Chocolate Chip Bread
This Easy Chocolate Chip Bread is a delicious moist quick loaf made with greek yogurt and chocolate chips. The Perfect Breakfast or snack bread.
Ok everyone I am back with my obsession with Greek yogurt! The other day my daughters and I were talking and they asked me what I preferred baking or cooking.
Hmmmm that’s a tough one I really enjoy them both. I actually find cooking easier because I never measure anything. Just a little of this and a little of that. Until it all tastes pretty darn good.
That is until I started a food blog of course and then I had to start measuring everything.
So I guess if I had to pick one, today I would say baking (tomorrow who knows)? I think baking takes a little more patience and precision.
And something sweet and homemade makes everyone so happy.
How to make a Yogurt Chocolate Chip Bread
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, chocolate chips and nuts.
- In another large bowl with a whisk, gently combine the oil, sugar, yogurt, eggs and egg yolk.
- Fold in the flour mixture to the wet mixture with a spatula just until all the flour has been combined (don’t over mix).
- Add to prepared loaf/cake pan and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, check for doneness with a toothpick.
- Let cool 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar when cooled if desired.
What does yogurt do in baking?
Because of the acidity in yogurt it helps to relax the gluten therefore making the bread more tender.
