This mint chocolate quick bread is my go to when I want something impressive but don't have much time. The beauty of it is that from start to finish, you're looking at less than an hour in the kitchen. Dark chocolate chips are packed with antioxidants, making this treat feel a little bit more virtuous than your average dessert. The peppermint extract gives it such a refreshing twist that keeps people coming back for more. It's simple enough for a weeknight bake but fancy enough to serve to guests with coffee.
