¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¾ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar

½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup milk (any kind)
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

- In another bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well blended.

- Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.

- Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk and dairy-free chocolate chips.
To lighten the bread, substitute applesauce for oil.
Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
