    Cooking With Kids: Amish Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bread

    My parents were exploring one of my favorite Plain communities last week, the Old Order Mennonite settlement near Dayton, Virginia.  While there they stopped at one of my favorite Plain businesses: Rocky Cedar Enterprises, a combination book store,fabric store and sundry shop run by two Mennonite sisters.  While they were there they picked up a gift for our 2-year-old daughter Aster: a kid-sized set of bakeware!   Mom said the one of the Mennonite sisters told them that a lot of the Mennonite moms use this kitchenware as a "starter set" for their children as they steep them in kitchen traditions.

    This bakeware goes right in the oven.

    I don't do many "repeat recipes"....if I am going to bother to bake or cook, I might as well try something new so we can post on Amish365.com    But, wow, if I were ever to stick a recipe into my "favorite file" for future use this bread would make the cut.  This Amish Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Bread recipe comes to us from an Amish baker in Holmes County, Ohio.

    Yummy slices of bread!

    It's an easy bread to make.  If I had to do it over again I might have added a smidge more than a cup of chocolate chips to it (really, can you EVER have too many chips?).  If you don't have whole wheat flour, regular flour will do.  But this made a really, really good, tasty bread that would go well as either a sweet breakfast bread or, as I've been using it for this week, a bedtime snack.   And this was a great bread to make with a 2-year-old: quick, easy and she was shrieking with excitement when it was time to remove it from the oven!

    The main of of bread and the "baby bread."  The main loaf would have been a bit plumper had I not robbed some batter for the baby bread!

      The bread looks yummy. I imagine Aster was delighted with her little loaf of bread. Looks as though she is becoming quite the little cook. Good job dad.
