Muffins!
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9×5 loaf
pan, or line with parchment. Combine dry
ingredients in a bowl. Whisk liquid ingredients
in a separate bowl. Pour wet into dry, and stir to
form a batter. Smooth into the prepared pan. If
desired, press some chocolate chips into the
top. Bake on the center rack 40 minutes, then
do not open the oven door but turn off the heat
and let sit in the closed oven 10 additional
minutes. If your bread is still undercooked at
this time, cover the top with foil. Turn the oven
back on and continue baking, checking every 5
minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the
center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
Cover and refrigerate overnight. Taste and
texture are much better the second day (and
even better the third day as it gets sweeter).
Leftovers can be sliced and frozen for up to a
month. If you try the recipe, be sure to rate it
