Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until glossy and smooth. Whisk in eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/3 cup sliced strawberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle a handful of extra chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 38-42 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely.
Slice and serve, garnished with additional fresh strawberries. For extra flair, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
