Here is a favorite pumpkin bread recipe I like to make. Moist, tender bread flavored with pumpkin puree and yummy mini chocolate chips. It's lovely with a cup of coffee or to serve at your next tea party!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan(s) with baking spray. Gather your ingredients so that everything is close at hand for use.
Chop the Nuts
Using a knife or nut chopper, chop pecans or English walnuts.
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, large eggs and pumpkin puree.
In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Add to pumpkin mixture. Mix just to incorporate.
Using a rubber spatula, fold in mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Pour into prepared loaf pans.
Bake in preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Makes 4 mini loaves, or 2 large loaves.
