Sour Cream Chocolate Bread

This Easy and Super Moist Sour Cream Chocolate Bread reminds me of a cakey type brownie. I could just eat this forever and a day!

But if I ate this chocolaty sweetness as much as I wanted too, I am sure my thighs and belly would really hate me…

I’m going back to school folks….  As my start date draws near, my to do list seems to steadily grow.  Yikes!  So as my nerves get the best of me, I am craving something sweet and as always it’s chocolate.  So I made my favorite sour cream chocolate bread that is incredibly moist.  And of course this bread is so moist because of that sour cream, a good butter, and buttermilk!

I thought about attempting to make this with greek yogurt, and coconut oil so that I could share a more healthy alternative.  But…… I decided not to.  Nope!  Sour cream is healthy enough for me right now, let’s add that good quality butter instead.  Disclaimer – I did use organic flour, and pure cane sugar…  Does that count??  🙂

Ok I have to log off and get some certifications together before school starts!  Let me know how you like the recipe in the comments.  xo

Cooking Tips:
Use room temperature ingredients to help your ingredients blend together better. It also helps the ingredients to trap air which will make the baked goods nice and fluffy.
