CHOCOLATE CHIP CORNBREAD

Part of what drew me to this recipe was the request to Bon Appetit  - the gentleman had vacationed in Mexico and said he would wake in the morning to the "unforgettable scent of chocolate chip corn bread baking in the oven".
It sounded so intriguing, I had to try it!

CHOCOLATE CHIP CORNBREAD

1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup canola oil
2 large eggs

Heat oven to 375F.
Spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray.
Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Stir in chocolate chips. Whisk milk, canola oil and eggs in medium bowl. Add milk mixture to dry ingredients, stir just to blend. Transfer to prepared pan.
Bake bread until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Invert cornbread onto rack, serve warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy!
