Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups canned or pureed pumpkin
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 4 egg whites
• 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (can do a mixture of whole grain flours too)
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ginger
• ⅛ tsp cloves
• 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. Combine the sugar, pumpkin, milk, yogurt and egg whites in a large bowl. Stir well with a whisk to combine. In a separate bowl combine the flour, spices, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Slowly add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture, stirring just until batter is moist. Fold in the chocolate chips.
3. Pour batter into two lightly greased loaf pans Bake at 350° for 60 minutes to an hour and fifteen minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the bread from the oven and allow to cool for approximately ten minutes in pans on a wire rack, then remove from pans to finish cooling completely on wire rack.
