Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
This isn't a recipe I've been making for years, but it's one I definitely plan on making for years to come. I found the recipe at My Baking Addiction (she adapted it from allrecipes.com) and immediately had to try it myself. The bread filled the house with a mouthwatering aroma as it baked and ended up tasting even better than it smelled. This recipe makes three loaves -- enough for sharing with friends, family, coworkers. I plan to bake up a few batches for the annual holiday cookie swap with my extended family!
3 cups white sugar
1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
4 eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 9x5 inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, pumpkin, oil, water, vanilla and eggs. Beat until smooth. Blend in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.
Bake for 1 hour, or until middle no longer feels soft. Cool on wire racks before removing from pans.
Make 3 loaves.

My mouth is literally watering right now. Soooo...since I'm not a baker, how much would I have to pay you to get you to bake this for me? <wink>
Maybe I'll just have to share a loaf with you (for free) next time I bake them!
Thanks Lisa, Always looking for pumpkin bread recipes. I just cut up the pumpkin we bought and made the puree for pumkin treats.
I am baking this tonight!
