1/4 c. sugar
3 1/2 c. flour
3/4 c. ground oatmeal
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. raisins
1/2 to 3/4 c. miniature chocolate chips
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. buttermilk

Combine first 6 ingredients. Cut in butter, stir in raisins and chips. Combine beaten eggs and buttermilk; stir into flour. Knead lightly on floured surface; you may need 1/4 cup flour.

Divide into 2 parts. Shape into balls, flatten slightly. Slash tops in a "X." Place on greased sheet and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes. Brush loaves with melted butter last 5 minutes.

To serve, cut in half, break off hunks and then butter. Makes 2 loaves.
