5. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
