Pumpkin Loaf

Pumpkin Loaf
============
3 Cups sugar
1 Cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
3-1/3 Cups flour
2 Teaspoons salt
2 Teaspoons cinnamon (or to taste)
1 Teaspoon nutmeg
2 Teaspoons baking soda
2 Cups pumpkin
2/3 Cup water
3 Teaspoons Vanilla
2 bags chocolate chips.

Mix sugar, oil and eggs together, add pumpkin and vanilla. Set aside. Combine flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda. Blend into sugar mixture alternately with water. Bake at 350 for 1 hour if using large loaf pans, or for 50 minutes if using smaller loaf pans. Spray
pans with Butter flavoured Pam.

NOTE: The original recipe called for nuts (pecans or walnuts) which I used. Then I tried it with both nuts and chocolate chips, before settling on just chocolate chips. I use two bags of good quality chocolate chips.
