Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9”x5” loaf pan (line with parchment if your loaf pan is not non-stick)

  • In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of all purpose flour with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon 
  • Use a fork to work in 4 tablespoons of melted and cooled butter and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until large crumbs develop and then mix in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips 
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and then sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the top
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick will come out of the center clean and the loaf feels set to a light touch
