Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

I have always loved the pumpkin chocolate chip bread at Great Harvest because it is so delicious! This recipe is the best homemade pumpkin bread that I have ever tasted, so hopefully you enjoy it as well!

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 cups sugar
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin
1 cup canola oil
2/3 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
4 large eggs
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray three 9x5 inch loaf pans with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl or mixer, combine sugar pumpkin, canola oil, water, vanilla and eggs. Mix until smooth.
4. Slowly blend in the flour mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Evenly divide batter between the three loaf pans.
5. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove loaves from the oven and cool in pans on wire rack for 15 minutes.
6. With a knife, go around the bread and loosen the loaves from pan. Remove from pan and cool completely before slicing.
