Manna from Heaven Orange Bread

In a mixing bowl, combine:
3 cups white flour
1 cup wheat flour
5 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 ½ tsp salt
½ cup brown sugar

In a separate mixing bowl, combine:
3 eggs, well beaten
½ cup oil
1 cup milk
1 cup orange juice (approx. 3 oranges)
4-5 TB orange zest

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and combine until flour is just moistened.

Add:
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Scrape batter into 3 medium (greased and floured) loaf pans. Bake at 375 degrees F for 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately remove from pans and cool completely.

Note: This recipe came from Grandma Staples files. I'm not a big fan of orange and chocolate together, but this bread was very good. It is not especially sweet, but it has plenty of flavor. The wheat flour gives the bread a nutty quality.
