Chocolate Chip Red Velvet Mini Loaves are a delightful homemade gift to give to neighbors or friends during the holiday season. Simple, easy & delicious!
Do you like making homemade gifts for friends & neighbors? It’s one of my favorite things to do during the holiday season. I usually spend most of November testing recipes to narrow down just the perfect treats I want to make to give away. One recipe that I keep coming back to is one for these Chocolate Chip Red Velvet Mini Loaves. I sure love red velvet & then when it’s topped with a sweet glaze & cute snowflake sprinkles, it just makes the whole season a little bit happier. I think we all could use some extra doses of happiness in our days & this is just the recipe to do that.
Chocolate Chip Red Velvet Mini Loaves
Because quality is of the utmost importance to me when baking for those I care about, I use Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose Flour because I like that it’s not enriched with any additives. It produces well-textured loaves just as easy as it creates light & airy baked goods. Versatility is a must in my kitchen. (Be sure to grab this coupon to pick up your own Bob’s Red Mill!)
These are so incredibly easy to make. Just whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl, pour into your mini loaf pans & bake for about 35 minutes. Once they are cool you can remove & add the simple 2 ingredient glaze. I’m telling you, it’s so easy but no one will be the wiser because of how pretty they are.

What loaf pans do you use? Your loaves came
out perfect!
Hi Whitney – my favorite little pans are these ones I picked up on Amazon http://amzn.to/2h1k2bz They work really well. For this recipe, I only used 3 out of the 4.
Enjoy!!!
If I can’t find the bittersweet chocolate can I use something else? Also can I use regular flour?
You should be able to find bittersweet chocolate in the same spot as the regular baking chocolate squares. I think you can substitute dark baking chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the bittersweet – but I have not tried it so I can’t guarantee it’s outcome. As far as the flour- all-purpose should be fine.
