Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients:
2 cups white sugar
2/3 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup and 3 tablespoons water
3 eggs
2-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
 
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9x5 inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, pumpkin, oil, water, and eggs. Beat until smooth. Blend in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Fill pans 1/2 to 3/4 full.
Bake for 1 hour, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Cool on wire racks before removing from cans or pans.
