Fall is our favorite time of year, due to the weather, food, and holidays. Once late September rolls around, we are ready with cans of pumpkin and chocolate in hand. We have enjoyed this recipe together for two years now, which we have adapted from Allrecipes.com. It makes 3 loaves and always turns out well!
3 cups white sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
4 eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3/4 tablespoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
between 1 1/2 and 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips (we tend to eyeball to our chocolate liking)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 3 loaf pans.
2. In a large bowl, combine sugar, pumpkin oil, water, and eggs. Beat until smooth. Blend in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.
3. Bake until an inserted knife comes out clean (probably about an hour.) Cool on wire racks before removing from pans.
Mine is still better.
