What do I think about this recipe?
It was the first time that I made or even ate a chocolate chips pumpkin bread today. So, I was expecting to get a cake like texture with some crunch from the chocolate chips but somewhat moist with a hint of pumpkin flavor and a crunchy chocolate taste for each bit.
It was very moist to the point that I would say that it was too moist. For next time, I will reduce the amount of canola oil from 5/8 to 1/2 of a cup. For a healthier version of this recipe, I would try to substitute the oil for apple sauce. 
It was very soft to the palate with a nice taste. It felt that every bite melted in your mouth. The amount of chocolate chips was right as well as the pumpkin flavor.

Let me know what you think yourself. :-)
