Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Quick Bread is perfect for breakfast, dessert or a snack!

We had been on a bad frozen waffle habit for a long time. For a quick weekday breakfast, we would grab a box, toast them, and wolf them down. It didn’t take too much time. Most of kids ate them plain out the toaster.
No syrup, no butter, just like a pieces of plain bread (weird, yes?) Well, we decided to kick the frozen waffles to the curb. No more. We have actually saved some money, which is nice. But, this leaves me with several days during the week filling in the breakfast menu.
Enter…quick bread!
In my quest, I found this bread from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. Her post not only has the recipe, but, a lovely idea of giving the dry ingredients in a jar for a gift. So cute!
For breakfast, snack or dessert, or a gift..this Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bread is perfectly delicious.

Delicious and easy to make with ingredients on hand. My new go-to bake in a pinch!
So glad you like it Claire! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
I have made this several times and we love it! Going to try some organic Sugars & wheat flour next time. thank you!
We usually substitute applesauce instead of using butter. Would that be okay in this recipe?
Hi Anon- I haven't tried it, but, it may be worth a try 🙂 If you do, please let me know how it works out!
Hi Erin,
What a great bread and what a great recipe! Have a great week and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!
Miz Helen
Thanks Miz Helen!
Any thoughts on replacing the egg, butter, and skim milk with Greek yogurt?
Hi Jackie. I haven't replace too much on this except the buttermilk, so, you would have to give it a try..please let me know if it works out..it's a great idea!
Ohhh! I pinned this! Can't wait to try it.. I almost always have all of those ingredients!!!
Thanks Kelly!
This looks LOVELY! I can't wait to try it! I am very new to the blog world and can't wait to see what is in store! Check out my site, and let me know what you think! Hope we can be blog friends.
Thanks Brooklyn! Your site is great 🙂
Do you need to use buttermilk or can you use regular or even skim milk?
I think skim milk would be ok. I have used regular milk and it worked out fine.
I was thinkig the same thing. Would using skim milk really screw this up?
Or what about yogurt if you need something thick?
I made cinnamon quick bread that has a very similar base. I have some leftover buttermilk in the fridge – I'm thinking I just found what to use it for 🙂
Cinnamon sounds good too! Enjoy!
Sounds yummy!
Thanks Jeni..it's a good one 🙂
Yum, looks delicious!
