This delicious Chocolate Chip Muffin Loaf has all the flavors of traditional muffins but in a loaf form, and topped with crunchy oatmeal streusel!
Happy happy Monday! If things have been a lil quiet the past couple days, it’s because I had two wedding cakes to make over the weekend, so though the blog was slow, my kitchen was utter chaos! I will definitely post about those cakes soon, but today I am sharing this delicious Chocolate Chip Muffin Loaf with crunchy streusel topping. Swoon. This loaf is exactly what it sounds like… muffins in a loaf form! Rather than splitting that batter up into a bunch of muffin cups, just pour it all in one single pan, bake it up, slice and enjoy. That crunchy topping is pretty much to-die-for, too!
I decided to take my go-to muffin recipe, which was originally posted as these Blackberry Pecan Muffins {but has been adapted and changed up more times than I can count} and turn it into a delicious brunch-approved muffin loaf. Chocolate chips were a must, as was the cinnamony, sweet, crunchy oatmeal streusel. That topping is seriously the best part! Next time, I may top it with this brown butter streusel instead… mmmm.
If you like banana bread but maybe not the strong flavor of bananas, you will seriously love this muffin loaf! The texture is moist and super similar to the classic treat. We devoured this whole loaf in about a day and a half, but if you end up with leftovers, I’m thinking they would be amazing turned into french toast. This recipe is so simple and seriously irresistible! I dare you to eat just one slice of this delicious bread {and I also dare you to not pick all the streusel off the top and eat it before the loaf has even cooled off enough to eat} 😉 Happy baking!
{recipe adapted from my Blackberry Pecan Streusel Muffins}
- *for the batter*
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- *for the streusel*
- 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup old-fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup packed dark brown sugar
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- Preheat the oven to 350F, and spray a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick spray {or line with parchment}.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugars. Add in the vanilla, oil, and sour cream, and mix until well-combined.
- Switch to a spatula, then pour in the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, then set aside to prepare the streusel.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the flour, sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt, and mix until large clumps form.
- Sprinkle the streusel on top of the batter, then bake for 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. If the loaf gets a little too dark, you can cover it with foil until it finishes baking.
