How To Make A Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf
This is a “quick bread” recipe, which means there is no yeast involved as a rising agent and no resting time. Instead, baking soda is used as a leavening, making the process much quicker!

COMBINE WET INGREDIENTS In a separate mixing bowl combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, oil, water, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until smooth and no longer lumpy.
ADD TOGETHERSlowly add the dry ingredients to the wet making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl. Once it is all mixed together add the chocolate chips and stir.
BAKE Fill the prepared tins 2/3 full and sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top. Place all the tins on a baking sheet for ease in transporting them to the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool and enjoy!
Recipe Tips and Variations
