Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

We used to have a patient come to the office where I work who would often bring in treats. She made great treats, so we nearly always asked her for the recipes. She started automatically bringing a copy of the recipe in with her treats after awhile, knowing she would be asked to bring it in later anyway.

This is my most used of her recipes. It's sweet enough to be a dessert, but if I use the rule that says it's good for you if there's a veggie in it, I feel less guilty eating it.

The recipe makes 2 regular size loaves, but can also make 6 mini loaves.
