Kneaders Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Do you have a Kneaders near you?  If you don't, you are missing out!  Love that place!  They make the yummiest breads and sandwiches (on their super, way yummy bread) and other tasty treats.  A loaf of Kneaders Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread (or is it just pumpkin?  Adding chocolate can never hurt!) is around $4 at the Kneaders near me and a loaf NEVER lasts long (30 minutes.  Tops).  The nice thing about this recipe is that it makes 3 loaves.  Yes, 3 loaves!  I was finally able to get some Kneaders Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread to last until morning.   And I was able to make 3 loaves for less than is would have cost me to buy 1 loaf!

This Kneaders Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread is moist, tender and delicious.  And the house smelled absolutely heavenly while it was baking. 

3 ⅓ cups flour
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 ⅔ cups sugar
⅔ cup butter, softened
4 sggs
1 (30 ounce) can pumpkin (I used 2 bottles of pumpkin I bottled)
⅔ cups Water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Sift together flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.  Cream together sugar and butter, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.  Add the pumpkin and mix well.  Add about half of the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated, then about half of the water.  Repeat with the other half of the flour and water.  Fold in chocolate chips and pour into 3 large, greased, loaf pans (Mine are about 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5).  Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
