Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Mini Loaves


I found this lovely recipe over at Small Town Oven.  This is a great one to use when looking for a hearty, filling treat.  A fairly healthy bread unless you're counting the chocolate...which is why I tossed in dark chocolate chips.....the healthy chocolate...snicker.  I nommed with great joy....ehehehe.

I made mini loaves instead of muffins because that shape amuses me more at the moment.


Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Mini Loaves

1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup skim milk
1 egg
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup butter
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips

In a small bowl, mix oats and 1/2 c milk. Set aside for 5 minutes.

In a separate bowl, cream butter and brown sugar together.  Add egg and vanilla. Mix in moistened oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into greased mini loaf pan and bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes.  Turn out onto racks to cool.


Look at all those beautiful chocolate chips.  I'm thinking some diced apple might be a neat addition next time.

    Ohhh, they look so good. I love making mini loaves. I think they tend come out a lot moister. I just made some lemon-blueberry mini's. Great minds think alike - lol!

    I've always wanted mini-loaf pans but then when I thin of everything I'd like in my kitchen I have to remind myself I just don't have room. But I can enjoy your recipe and photos any way.
