Sifting the flour can help prevent lumps.Combine mixtures
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make the bread tough.Add mix-ins
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
Reserve a few chocolate chips and walnuts for topping.Bake the bread
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and sprinkle reserved chocolate chips and walnuts on top. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
