Pumpkin Bread

PUMPKIN bars, PUMPKIN cobbler, PUMPKIN custard, PUMPKIN cheesecake... so much to do this season!  PUMPKIN bread was the first this fall, and what a fabulous start! It was my meal for breakfast, lunch and snacks in-between until it was gone. Perfect combo of spices, and dense and sweet... what's there not to like?! 

Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Loaf

3 c. flour
3 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. oil
4 eggs
2/3 c. water
2 c. canned pumpkin
12 oz. bag chocolate chips

Mix everything together except pumpkin and chocolate chips. Mix well. Add pumpkin and mix. Fold in chocolate chips. Divide mixture between two greased and floured 9x5x3" loaf pans.
Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Might make a great gift for someone if you can handle not eating it all. :) Enjoy!
