2) In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
3) In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and stir well.
4) Pour dry into wet, and stir until just evenly combined.
5) Transfer to the loaf pan and spread out evenly. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and press down.

7) enjoy. This tastes even better the day after...
