Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Quick Bread in a Jar

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Quick Bread in a Jar

 

Have you ever made the yeast bread that you have to keep on the counter for 10 days and add items every couple of days? At the end of 10 days you get to make some of the most delicious cake like bread that never lasts the afternoon… am I right?

Well this Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Quick Bread is that and more! My crew is divided on whether it is a bread or a massive cookie.

The recipe is just enough for one quart jar. If you need to make more than one gift, make them one at a time. The consistency has always been better when we don’t double or triple the recipe.

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
