    It's that time of year when the scents of autumn take over my senses and all I want to do is bake anything and everything with apples, pumpkins, cinnamon. Enter my Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread!

    If you, too, are in the pumpkin state of mind these days, this delicious, easy pumpkin bread recipe comes together quickly and will delight your whole family.

    Chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe on UrbanBlissLife.com

    I've experimented with several different chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipes over the years, and mine is a mish-mash of our own banana bread recipe and what we liked best from those previous pumpkin bread experiments. This is a truly easy, one-bowl recipe that makes a lot.

    Warning: this recipe doesn't last long in my house, so feel free to double up and save some in the freezer if you want it to last!

    Make it Your Own

    - Eliminate the chocolate chips and/or the cinnamon sugar mix for plain pumpkin bread.
    - Add walnuts or pecans.
    - Top the loaves with cream cheese frosting.

    MAKES: Two 9" x 5" loaves OR 1 loaf and 24 mini muffins

    Make the Cinnamon Sugar

    • Add sugar and cinnamon to a bowl and whisk together to combine. Set aside.

    Make the loaf batter

    • Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.

    • Adding one at a time, whisk in the the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla to the dry mix, stirring in between each new ingredient.
    • Fold in the ½ cup chocolate chips last, until well blended.
