Chocolate Chip Drop Biscuits
Chocolate is underrepresented in the breakfast world. Why can’t we start the day with a little bite of chocolate? If you’re nodding enthusiastically, then you’re going to be very excited about these biscuits.
Not only do these biscuits give you a great way to work a little chocolate into your morning meal, but they are also so quick and easy to make that you may find yourself having a chocolate breakfast treat on a regular basis.
I’ve made the base recipe for these biscuits so many times that I actually keep a copy of the recipe within easy reach in my kitchen. They’re just so simple and so good that they’re a great go-to when you want a quick batch of biscuits with no rolling and cutting involved.
I enjoy making them with different add-ins and flavors, from sweet to savory. I’ve lost track of all the variations I’ve made, but you can find a blueberry version here at BoB.
If you’re with me in the Chocolate for Breakfast Revolution, then you’ll want to add this recipe to your baking arsenal. What a sweet way to start your day!

I agree-we definitely need more chocolate for breakfast! 😛 These biscuits look like the perfect start!
Sounds fantastic! I’m a chocoholic friek anyway but this seems easy to make when you are getting guests in an hour.
I love this idea!
YES!! Chocolate for breakfast!! Dying to try this biscuit recipe!
These look fantastic! Are they similar to a scone?
Hi, Kristie. I suppose they’re a bit like scones, but I’d say they’re 90% biscuit.
Jennifer,
These look perfect and not tooooo sweet! I love my protein breakfast every day but I miss all the sweet rolls and pastries my mom made years ago too. These will be easy to make and healthier instead.. Now I can swap out my quick bread toast w my eggs with a chocolate chip biscuit ( or two) instead.!!!
I think I’ll try raisins or apple cinnamon fruit bites I just found on line too. Biscuits for breakfast is a very good idea!!!!! Thanks
