Pumpkin Bread

I know it isn't fall but I love pumpkin bread and so does Kaleb and Matt. So Sunday Matt and Kaleb made some. Of all the pumpkin bread recipes I've tried this one I like the most.

Pumpkin Bread

• 3 c. white sugar
• 1 (15oz) can pumpkin puree
• 1 c. vegetable oil
• 2/3 c. water
• 4 eggs
• 3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 T. cinnamon
• 1 T. nutmeg
• 2 t. baking soda
• 1 1/2 t. salt
• 1 c. miniature semisweet chocolate chips (I use 2 c. of regular choc. chips)
• 1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease four regular sized loaf pans. (You could also do 8 mini loaves-30 min. cooking time; muffins-27 min. cooking time)
2. In a large bowl combine sugar, pumpkin, oil, water, and eggs. Beat until smooth. Mix in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Fill pans 1/2 to 3/4 full.
3. Bake for 45 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Cool on wire racks before removing from pans.
