Every time a chocolate treat is in the works, anyone in our house gets stopped in their tracks to check out what is baking or what deliciousness is about to emerge.

Sometimes, a simple “hmm chocolate…” signifies their anticipation of the baked goodie and it tells me that chocolate is a winner in the house.

I can’t blame them though. Chocolate is generally loved by anyone. Not only for its bitter, sweet, luscious addictive flavor. There is something in chocolates that equates them to the word special.

Some of the ingredients for chocolate chip loaf bread-cocoa powder, flour, chocolate chips, and pecan nuts.

We give chocolate as gifts. We gift them on Valentines. They glitter like gold come Christmas time.

And when you just want any given day or an ordinary moment to be special, grace it up with chocolate and you have pretty much have done it perfectly.

This Chocolate Chip Loaf Bread is our special, our delight on a weekday just because special can be any given time just with a simple chocolate treat.

Making Chocolate Chip Loaf Bread

This chocolate chip loaf bread is moist and flavorful with substantial texture coming from the pecans which are mixed in the batter and then some sprinkled on top. Of course, the chocolate chip toppings are non-negotiable.

  • To make this quickbread, you start off with the classic creaming method, that is, creaming the butter and sugar until the mixture is creamy.
  • The eggs are added one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture, alternately with the buttermilk. Then, fold in some of the pecans. Pour and scrape the batter on a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan. Bake for 20 minutes then sprinkle the chocolate chips and the remaining pecans.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted at the center of the bread comes out clean.

What is even more special is the chocolate honey butter that you spread on the bread. Slather it generously and each slice is a complete delicious treat of nuts, chocolate chips, and a total chocolate goodness!

Much like a comforting hug, or a warm blanket or a much needed cheer me up on a crazy day, this bread will make you feel special.

    No one could tell it was gluten free

    You are so right chocolate does equate to the word special.
    Chocolate ice cream feels ‘more special’ than vanilla or strawberry.
    My kids are going to freak over this! They will definitely think it is a treat day 😀
