Notes

Use the 'scoop and sweep' method for measuring flour for this recipe. Do not use a packed cup of flour. Use a spoon to put flour in a measuring cup then level it off with the flat end of a knife.
Chocolate chips can be left out or replaced with raisins or walnuts.
Let the pumpkin bread cool completely before serving.
