Another variation on my favorite pumpkin bread recipe is a chocolate chip studded version. Because chocolate makes everything better. =)

The little bits of melted chocolate match perfectly with the moist pumpkin bread, making a perfect snack.

I can never decide which version of pumpkin bread I like best. I guess it just depends on what I’m in the mood for.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread (adapted from this recipe)

Yields: Three 7 x 3 inch loaves

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water

1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line three 7×3 inch loaf pans with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger.
