Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

The other day I ate a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie and my mouth was craving more and more the rest of the day, so I decided to look up how to make them and came across a pumpkin chocolate chip bread that I wanted to try instead!

This recipe is for 2 loaves, but since I made it for my work and have quite a few co-workers I doubled the recipe, so the pictures look like I am making it for an Army (which might as well be the same thing lol).
