Cherry Chocolate Chip Bread
Have you ever walked through a store and been inspired by the flavors you see? – Maybe not but that is how my brain operates when I go into a grocery store. Today I bring to you Cherry Chocolate Chip Bread!
Seasonal flavors, in this instance specifically cherries from Sprouts caught my eye. I knew I wanted to make some sort of bread, I had ripe bananas but wasn’t feeling the traditional banana bread this time. When I saw dried cherries I knew I needed to make this Cherry Chocolate Chip Bread.
A Twist on a Classic
This Cherry Chocolate Chip Bread is super easy to make, its just a slight twist on your grandma’s banana bread recipe. Enjoyed with a cup of coffee or as a summer party sweet, you can’t go wrong. Not to mention Chocolove created a chocolate bar perfect for this recipe!
