I begin shopping for cherries as soon as they arrive it in N.C. and don’t stop till they’re gone. And we’re talking massive bags with loads of cherries in them! 🍒❤️

This chocolate cherry bread is excellent as an indulgent breakfast (you understand I like a bit of chocolate early in the morning!), and it’s additionally excellent as a morning or mid-afternoon snack. Goes nice with low or tea. 👌 you’ll even have it as a late-night sweet.

A few notes:

• I use freshly picked Bing cherries. You may substitute another version of fresh sweet cherries if you like. I don’t advocate for frozen cherries for this, as they need plenty of additional liquid that might throw off the batter.
• Need to make these even lighter? I’ve disregarded the butter before (I just used a touch of additional applesauce), and it was still fine. The butter adds a fair little bit of richness tho’ and there’s not abundant within the whole loaf.
• Wish to form these into muffins? I’ve done that, too. I baked it at 325 for 22-25 minutes and yielded twelve terribly full muffins. You’ll be able to get thirteen out of this direction.
• This bread – or the muffins – freeze nicely if you’ve got leftovers you would like to save for later.
