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.
