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!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 cup of Sugar
• 5 Ripe Bananas
• 1/2 cup Melted Butter
• 1 Egg
• 1/4 Cup of Dried Cherries
• 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips – semi-sweet or dark chocolate – your choice!
• 1/2 Cherry Chocolate Almond Bar (melted)

If you’ve seen my other recipes you know I try my best to reduce sugar. In this instance I wanted to keep it tried and true but rest assured i’ll keep testing this one to see how we can amp up the nutritional value and reduce the sugar!
