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.

Hi Sefina, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it.
Can this be made with non-greek yogurt?
Hi Jan, yes it can be made with regular yogurt, leave out the one tablespoon of milk since greek yogurt is thicker. Let me know how it goes.

Made this exact recipe twice & twice it imploded in the middle… Why??
Hi Jo, I don’t know exactly what you mean by exploded in the middle. Are you sure your oven temperature is reading properly? Let me know.

Hi Tricia, so glad it was a hit. 🙂
This looks amazing, I am definitely a reluctant baker but really tempted to give these a go 🙂
Practice make perfection, and this cake is proof! I looks delicious! I definitely cook more than I bake, but I blame it on my old oven.
Absolutely amazing. I’m thinking I could use this recipe with my gluten-free flour blend. Can’t wait to try it.
Hi Cate, thanks, when I saw it I had to grab it. Have a great day.
