Description
A quick bread recipe featuring the nutty flavor of brown butter, walnuts, and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter foams, then brown bits form at the bottom and it smells nutty. Remove from heat immediately and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the slightly cooled brown butter until combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- To make brown butter, watch the milk solids carefully to prevent burning.
- You can substitute pecans for walnuts if you prefer.
- For a moister bread, you can reduce the baking time slightly if the center is set but still slightly soft.
