Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaf

My grandmother baked this pumpkin loaf a lot while we were growing up, and she still does. I love love love getting a lot of my recipes from her. My mother isn't so much of a baker, so I glad that I am taking the time to learn my grandmother's recipes and write them down. 

This is one of the recipes I will make for Friends-giving and Thanksgiving, and since it freezes well and makes three loaves at a time, I will make this again in the next week or so and store it in the freezer until needed. When I made this last weekend, I kept out two loaves for us to eat during the week and froze another loaf to use to "make their day" at work last Friday (it thaws within a few hours, but I left it out overnight and it was fine)

Ingredients:
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 can of pumpkin
  • 12 oz bag of chocolate chips


How To:
1. Preheat oven to 350 and spray three loaf pans with cooking spray

2. Beat together eggs and sugar
    eggs and sugar
3. Add in baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon. flour, and oil. Mix thoroughly, but do not over beat.

Add in dry ingredients
4. Add in pumpkin and mix thoroughly, making sure not to over beat. 

Pumpkin out of a can does not look pretty! 
5. Gently fold in chocolate chips

Sneak a few chocolate chips and eat them right then and there
6. Split among three loaf pans
