Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Submitted by jbethke

"A Fall favorite! This recipe is loved by all and is great for family, friends, teachers, work -- even as gifts. Serve alone or warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert. Can substitute chocolate chips with raisins, dried cranberries or walnuts (or experiment with a combination). But chocolate chips are my family's favorite! NOTE: Coconut oil can also be substituted for vegetable oil. Gives it a different flavor, but still delish!"

This was easy and delicious, and just what I was looking for since so many other pumpkin bread recipes made 2-3 loaves. My only tweak was that I dusted the choc chips with 1 tsp of flour before mixing them in- this helps to prevent them from sinking. This recipe is a keeper, thank you!
