Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the batter bakes evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Baking

  1. 6

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  2. 7

    Pour Batter

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  3. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  4. 9

    Cool

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the dish for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

  1. 10

    Serve with Toppings

    Cut into squares and serve warm, topped with whipped cream and fresh berries as desired.
