To ensure your loaf has a gently rounded top and no "lipping" at the edges, grease or spray only the bottom of the pans.

Wonderful...Delicious...Easy...I can say so many good things about this bread recipe. I will definitely be making this recipe again. It will make good gifts for friends this holiday season. Although, if you don't want it to be overly sweet, a good way to cut it is to cut back on the pecans or eliminate them altogether. I put a ton on there because I love pecans and it wasn't overly sweet at all! You could probably do this recipe without the chocolate chips and nuts and just have a plain pumpkin bread. But, this is wonderful!

This recipe, "Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread", is flavorful-fragrant-tasty. It makes a perfect loaf for your family. It is outstanding for a loaf for a work meeting or a potluck dinner at any group you belong to. I stuck to the original recipe this time. For the next loaf I do plan trying the suggestion of using cranberries in addition to the mini chocolate chips - no other changes this time. I think making switches, one at a time will give you a total picture of the final changes you wish to settle for your chosen design of the recipe you wish to make your favorite recipe! This will equal

I use two cups of boiled, peeled, and pureed pumpkin from my garden. That's all I do different.
