Look no further. This is the BEST pumpkin bread recipe ever!

Recipe from: The Mormon Cookbook

1/2 cup butter
1 cup butter
2 eggs
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1 3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans (an option I choose not to add)

Cream butter, sugar, and eggs. Add pumpkin and mix; set aside. In another bowl sift dry ingredients. Gradually add dry ingredients to creamy mixture. Beat until blended. Add chocolate chips & pecans, if desired. Grease one loaf pan or 4 mini loaves. Pour into pans. For one loaf, bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. For mini loaves, bake at 350 degrees for about 35 to 40 minutes. Makes one loaf or 4 mini loaves.
