For the best results, mix the batter just until combined. Overmixing can make the loaf tough and gummy.
Nut lovers try adding chopped pecans or chopped walnuts.
For an over-the-top presentation, top the loaf with a handful of semisweet chocolate chips before baking.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the top comes out mostly clean. It might have a little melted chocolate chip or a few moist crumbs on it.
Let the loaf cool for 10-15 minutes before removing it from the pan. See below for tips about getting the bread out of the pan with the melted chocolate chips on the top.
