Recipe: Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

I am a big fan of all things pumpkin in the fall and winter.  There is just something warm and cozy about the flavor, and I am always a big fan of chocolate, so this recipe is a no brainer with me.  Plus, it is the best pumpkin bread I have found.  After a week it will still be moist!

Ingredients:

3 Cups white sugar

1 Can pumpkin puree

1 Cup veg oil

2/3 Cup water

4 Eggs

3 1/2 Cups Flour

1 Table spoon cinnamon

1 Table spoon nutmeg

2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Bake at 350 for 1 hour (depending on oven temps you can look at the top of the bread to determine if it needs another ten to fifteen)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.  Grease and flour three 9 by 5 loaf pans.

2. In a large bowl combine sugar, pumpkin, oil, water and eggs.  Beat until smooth.  Blend in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.  Fold in chocolate chips.

3.  Bake 1hr or until inserted knife comes out clean.

These breads make a great gift, and they also freeze very well!  Let me know if you make it/like it!!!
