PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD

Ingredients
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 2 eggs
• 1½ cups sugar
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease and lightly flour a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, sugar, and oil.

3. Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and baking

powder onto a square of wax paper (or mix in a bowl). Stir into the pumpkin mixture and combine, but do not overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips.

4. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, but not dry. Do not overbake; the bread should be moist. Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Turn out onto the rack to cool completely.

Nut Lover's Variation: Substitute chopped nuts for the chocolate chips.
