Oatmeal Quick Bread filled with chocolate chips takes less than an hour to whip up. You don’t need a mixer or yeast for this easy and delicious sweet bread.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and chocolate chips.
1 ⅓ cup all purpose flour, ⅔ cup old fashioned oats, ⅓ cup granulated white sugar, ⅓ cup light brown sugar, 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, ⅓ cup chocolate chips
In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
1 large egg, 3 Tablespoons butter, 1 cup buttermilk
Add the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, just until fully incorporated. The batter will be lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let cool on a rack before slicing to serve.
Notes
Either quick oats or old fashioned oats work—old fashioned gives more texture.
Melt butter and let it cool before mixing with the egg to avoid cooking the egg.
No mixer needed—use a wooden spoon or spatula to avoid overmixing.
Skip chocolate chips if preferred, or swap in raisins or dried fruit.
