An Easy Quick Bread
I’m a breakfast person. I always have been. I hear people talking about skipping breakfast and I’m like, WHAT DO YOU MEAN SKIP BREAKFAST??? WHY??? Breakfast is pretty much the main reason I get out of bed in the morning. And it has been, my entire life. Hungry girl problems.
I am not a breakfast skipper. I am a “do not talk to me, interact with me, or look at me until I’ve had my breakfast” type of person. I think about breakfast before I fall asleep. I think about breakfast when I don’t fall asleep (oh hey insomnia!).
It doesn’t matter if it’s a bowl of oatmeal, eggs or a yummy chocolate chip bread like this, I’m pretty laser focused on spending some quality time with it immediately after leaving my bed. Food first. Life next.
Breakfast skipping, seriously, how is that a thing. Or when someone says, I forgot to eat breakfast, I’m like forgot? I mean I might forget that I already ate breakfast, and then eat second breakfast, at which point I’m bordering on becoming a Hobbit, but I’m never going to forget to eat breakfast (or lunch, or dinner, the struggle is real…).
Typically I’m all about the whole grains in my breakfast breads, and bake most of my quick breads and muffins with whole wheat flour. They aren’t quite as decadent, but you know, fiber, protein, all that good stuff.
But guess who forgot to buy whole wheat flour at the store? Guilty as charged. So this chocolate chip quick bread was made with all purpose flour. I almost forgot how crazy fantastic all purpose flour is in breads. It’s kind of like eating buttery clouds for breakfast. With chocolate. It’s GOOD.

Nina says
Very good and easy recipe. I just mixed everything wet together and then measured dry into the wet mix to save time. Only change I would make is reduce sugar – it was too sweet for me. The chocolate chips were sweet enough š
Tiffany says
Can you use reduce fat Buttermilk? I have got to three store and no one had full fat buttermilk
Dry Bread says
Was really excited to make this based on the 5 star ratings, but to my dismay, my loaf turned out dry and bland. There was no detectable tanginess that I was expecting from buttermilk (I used vinegar/whole milk substitute per recipe suggestion). Baked it for 53 minutes in a glass pan. Maybe it was overbaked? Flour was measured correctly. Batter not overmixed. End piece was unpalatable, next slice got a little better with some butter on it. I’d like to give this another try, but I feel it needs something else. Maybe sour cream or yogurt for added moisture.
Susan says
Loved this recipe and so did my family! Would you recommend a metal loaf pan or glass loaf pan for baking this bread? Thank you!
Shil says
It was absolutely amazing! Only I had to cook for an extra 10 minutes for it to be properly cooked. Used mini chips so no issues with sinking chips. My family really loved this recipe. Thank you!
melanie says
Can you make the batter then night before to bake in the morning?
Christi Johnstone says
I would not recommend it, it will not rise the same. I would just bake it at night, it’ll still be delicious and fresh in the morning.
The bee mom says

Carole Wedge says

Boy says
Hey so was it fine if I added milk instead of buttermilk? The center is still very unbaked even when I put 50 minutes. And the chocolate chips melted at the bottom š
