Easy Steps

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Bake, cool enjoy!

The wonderful thing about this recipe besides the smell of this baking is how simple the ingredients are and taste great any time of the day not just a breakfast loaf!

It mixes up quickly and you can actually make mini bundt cakes, muffins, mini loaves or little bites from a mini muffin pan that are perfect for a take along for road trips, work or packed in a lunch for someone special.

This is a great way to teach the kids how to bake, it's that simple to make and hopefully if they do, they won't eat all the chocolate chips before it goes in this delectable batter!

I also love the fact the batter is basic, so you really can add whatever you want in flavored chocolate chips to dried fruits or nuts!

I have had so many banana bread recipes and zucchini bread recipes that it was time to make a basic loaf cake/quick bread with a simple basic recipe like this one.
