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!
