Chocolate Chip Streusel Pumpkin Bread

My family LOVES the flavor of pumpkin!  Yesterday I baked this delicious bread - everyone loved it! 
Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 15 oz. can of canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup applesauce 
  • 1/2 cup fat-free vanilla pudding (I used one single serving container)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 stick butter cut into small pieces
  •  Cooking spray  
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture, stirring just until moist. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Spoon batter into 2 (8 x 4-inch) loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Make streusel topping by combining small chucks of the butter with brown sugar and oats (I do this with my hands) and then sprinkle evenly on top of each loaf.  Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans on a wire rack, and remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.
Enjoy for a light dessert or maybe even for a breakfast treat!
