Notes

Bread pan: this bakes pretty and tall in a 8.5x4.5 loaf pans, but 9x5 inch pans will also work, or one regular loaf and two mini loaves.
Storage Instructions: Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for up to 10 days.
Freezing Instructions: Allow pumpkin bread to cool completely and store in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins: This will make about 2 dozen muffins. Bake at 350 degrees F for 28-38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with few moist crumbs.
Mini loaves will bake for around 25-35 minutes.
