Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 cups sugar
* 1 cup pumpkin puree
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 1/3 cup water
* 2 eggs
* 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
* 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1 tsp ground nutmeg
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 3/4 teaspoons salt
* 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

2. 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.

3. Bake for about 70 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack before removing from pan.

Notes

I also like to trace my pan on parchment paper and put it in the bottom of the loaf pan just to guarantee the loaf will pop out without any trouble!
