Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

- Gradually mix in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: If you’re out of unsalted butter, you can use salted butter and just omit the added salt. For a dairy-free version, substitute vegan butter.
- Optional Variations: Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch, or replace half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a warm treat, microwave slices for about 10-15 seconds before serving.
