Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
Pour and Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy!
Tips for Success:
Measure Accurately: For best results, measure your flour using the spoon-and-level method to avoid adding too much flour.
