Heaven in a Loaf Pan

Here in the Strickland-Swift household, we are... how do you say it?... addicted. To chocolate chip pumpkin bread. We want to make your lives better, so here's the recipe. I strongly suggest you go buy ingredients and make it pronto. You won't regret it. Until you gain 10 pounds. But trust me, it's worth it.

This recipe has kind of odd measurements, b/c I halved it to make just 1 loaf. Double it if you want 2. Haha, I guess you could have figured that out, right? Here's the ingredients:

1 1/2 c.sugar
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. apple sauce (if you don't have this, just use vegetable oil instead)
2 eggs
1 c. canned pumpkin
1/3 c. water
1 2/3 c all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 to 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (yum yum)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a loaf pan. Mix sugar and oil/apple sauce with mixer. Add eggs and blend. Add pumpkin and blend. Add water and blend. Combine remaining ingredients and add slowly. Fill pans equally and bake for 1 hour until golden brown.

Enjoy, all.
