Dark Chocolate & Cranberry Bread

It’s always nice to start off your day or have a mid-afternoon snack of a tasty quick bread.  This bread is loaded with dark chocolate chips and dried cranberries.



 
Dark Chocolate & Cranberry Bread
6 tbsp butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
3 large eggs
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 cups flour (take out 1 tbsp and stir into chips and dried cranberries)
¾ cup buttermilk
¾ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup dried cranberries (I used Craisins)

In a small bowl, stir together the dark chocolate chips and dried cranberries with 1 tbsp of flour.  This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
Cream together softened butter and sugar.  Add in the eggs.  Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk.  Fold in the chips and cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.  Spread into a greased loaf pan.  Bake for 70 minutes at 350°.  Allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pan before turning out on a cooling rack.
