This naturally sweet and whole wheat chocolate chip cherry bread is ideal for a healthier breakfast or snack and an excellent thanks to using of freshly picked cherries in the summer! These days it’s my whole wheat cherry chocolate chip bread that is exploding with freshly picked sweet cherries and made chocolate chips in each bite.

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.
