- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay. Fold in 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but no wet batter. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bread out of the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
