Pumpkin bread

1 cup vegetable oil
2 2/3 cup sugar
4 ggs
2 cups pumpkin
2/3 cup water
3 1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking pwder
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
optional walnuts and chocolate chips

preheat oven to 350.  Grease 2 loaf pans.  Beat together oil, sugar, eggs, pumpkin and water.  Add the flour, baking powder and soda, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla.  Stir to combine.  Mix in chips or nuts if using.  Divide batter into loaf pans.  Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool on a rack.  Wrap well and store overnight before serving.

I think i forgot the water in this recipe.  I added chocolate chips to half the batter and just sprinkled walnuts on the top of the second loaf.  The edges were somewhat dry but the interior was better.  I also used roasted pie pumpkin puree, which ended up being less than the 2 cups called for.
