Chocolate Cherry Bread

Cherry Chocolate Bread | Garlic, My Soul

Guys the cherry stuff can’t stop. I love cherries! I ate a whole bag of them today, in fact. This is banana bread stuffed with chocolate and cherries, and you should probably make it immediately. Ana made this for me on a day I thought we just did not have time for one more recipe, but turns out I was wrong – good thing, because this quickly became my fave thing to eat.

I love bread recipes because I hate getting breakfast ready in the morning – I love the idea of this being ready for me in the AM with little prep. This toasted? The perfect start to a day with some hot coffee.

This recipe is easy to follow, and easy to adapt. Banana bread is generally pretty forgiving, and that’s why I like to come back to it so much. I love it for breakfast (maybe hold the chocolate) and I love it for a snack. I lowered the sugar in here because the cherries are sweet enough. I would imagine this makes delicious muffins, but that’s to come – for now I’ve been eating it in slices and not looking back.

The recipe is below – get at it! Try it with your fave berries if cherries isn’t your thing – imagine blueberries or raspberries? Or some combo of the two. The possibilities are really endless. Berry season is the best one, you guys. Happy summer!
