Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

(four small loaves or one regular loaf)

1 3/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
1 c pumpkin puree
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp orange juice
1 c semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 and grease pans.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt.

In another large bowl, stir together the pumpkin, both sugars, oil, eggs, vanilla, and orange juice. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Try not to overmix. Add in 3/4 of the chocolate chips.

Pour into loaf pans, and top with the rest of the chocolate chips. Bake for 30-32 minutes for small pans, or 50-60 minutes for a large loaf pan. Test with a toothpick inserted in the center, allow it to cool on a rack for 30 minutes, and remove from pan.
