My Favorite Fall Recipe!


 Okay, so I love it when Fall comes around, cooler weather, changing colors, warm sweaters and scarves, jeans and cute boots.  But mostly, that’s when the pumpkins come back.  The Pumpkin Spice Latte’s and all things pumpkin flavored.  Well, I came across this recipe last Fall and I’ve made it a couple of times since and it has had some amazing reviews.  It’s also really simple and easy to make, and a must to make when the “Fall Season” rolls around!  I’ve made it with fresh pumpkin and canned pumpkin as well, both are amazing! 
So here it is…   
 
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread!

Ingredients:
2 cans pumpkin ( or 4 cups fresh pumpkin)
1 cup oil
4 eggs
2/3 cup water
3 cups sugar
3-1/2 cups sifted flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tablespoon nutmeg
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cloves
3 tsp cinnamon
Add chocolate chips (or nuts)
 
Directions:

Cream eggs and sugar together.
 
Add pumpkin, oil and water.
pumpkin oil water
 
Combine flour, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, cloves, cinnamon. Then, add into pumpkin mixture.
 
Add in chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until you can insert and toothpick/knife and it comes out clean. 
This is where baking the bread can get a little bit tricky just because baking times can vary with this bread.
I tend to bake the bread for an extra 10-15 minutes (depending on how full the pans are)
