Whole family loved it! Made this gluten free by using Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 baking flour. Ours was super moist and tasted more like a chocolate cake than bread. Next time, I may just skip the chocolate chips on top and see if it’s still five stars. Also, we did not make the topping since everyone started eating it right away.
