It should be clear by now that I am a big fan of chocolate. You know the kind of people who go to the soft serve machine and get vanilla ice cream? Yeah, me too, and I don’t trust those kinds of people. Give me chocolate or give me death. Chocolate or bust. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Chocolate. Welcome to the United Plates of Gritmerica.
(Okay I’m going to stop now while I still have some friends left)
BUT SRSLY I really love chocolate. And when I have my coffee in the morning, I NEED THE C (that’s C-hocolate, get your head out the gutter)
And my chocolate fix of choice in these moments of weakness are, without a doubt, my Chocolate Breakfast Biscuits.
They’re great for so many reasons. For one, they’re paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and can easily be made keto. But let’s be honest, most of my recipes are! What makes these a regular in my refrigerator repertoire is that they’re made in one bowl, in less than 5 minutes, with ingredients that I regularly stock in my pantry.
And BOY OH BOY OH, these bad boy biscuits dipped in a hot cup o’Joe… lemme just say, it’s STEAMY.
I make big batches of these to bring on our camping trips because they make the perfect fatty on-the-trail treat. In fact, I have a bundle of em in my cooler RIGHT NOW as C n I traverse the west for a little post-graduation fun 😊 There’s a double batch in there to fuel all the adventures to be had.
OKAY OKAY enough teasing, check out the recipe below.
