Very good. I used all applesauce instead of oil b/c that seemed like a large amount of oil for me. I also left out the 2/3 cup of water b/c the batter looked very thin to me as it was. I used fersh/frozen pumpkin instead of canned and I added more chocolate chips as I was tring to use up my open bags. I baked it in a bundt pan b/c my family likes it better that way. The extra chocolate chips make it VERY rich. I would just stick to the amount called for in the recipe in the future. It stayed very moist even without the water called for. I cut the pieces smaller b/c of the richenss so I got somewhere around 20-25 servings out of it. I was a little concerned about it spilling over b/c my bundt pan was VERY full. I put a cookie sheet under it just in case but it didn't spill over. You might want to keep that in mind if you use a different sized pan.

Easy and delicious great for this fall weather. Used mini chocolate chips and added a simple glaze that I feel really set it off, will be using this one many times through this holiday season

My family loves Pumkin Bread and we wait for this season to buy it from the local bakery because I didn't know I was able to make it. My family went crazy for this bread! It was totally easy to make and I am a star this week! :) Thank you so much for this recipe, it will go into my cookbook as a "standard". I think I will cut back on the Chocolate chips because I felt it overwhelmed the pumpkin... but that's a personal choice... thank you!

Absolutely phenomenal. I kid you not. This bread is so moist and light. My husband doesn't like pumpkin but...he ate half of a medium-sized loaf all by himself! Great recipe, and so easy to make. I agree with Karen...this is definitely a keeper.
