Chocolate Chip Streusel Bread
3 day weekends are the best.
That one extra day definitely makes things so much happier. There's so much more time to have fun, relax...and maybe study a little. It helps that Sundays stink a little less and the dreaded Monday is happy instead!
We literally wrote "HAPPY WEEKEND" on our calendar. We're super cool like that.
At least it's only 4 days of class. One day closer...until the next weekend!
Honestly, Saturday can't come any faster. Is it possible to already feel overwhelmed?
I had bookmarked this bread a long time ago. The recipe seemed super easy and I would always have all the ingredients -so no need to run to the store!
With all the chocolate and streusel topping, it's definitely more dessert-like than any normal type of bread.
I used some chopped almonds I had left over from the Pesto from last week and added that to the streusel topping. It added a new crunchiness to the bread, but it would have been perfect without the almonds as well!
I totally forgot to take a picture until there was one slice left... oops!

Also for all those Community fans out there, I cannot get this out of my head!

There have been so many times I have forgotten too take a pic until the last minute :)
ReplyDeleteThe bread sounds amazing. I love the streusel topping!
[1] It looks so pretty!
ReplyDelete[2] I love that video. Seriously. The guy (or girl) who made that is intense.
[3] I think I will now add your Streusel topping to everything I make. Every cake will be STREUSEL. Mmm, crispy crunchy goodness.
