Aside from the fact that I TOTALLY messed this recipe up myself by measuring chocolate chips with the liquid measuring cup instead of dry measuring cups, the bread part of this recipe was really good.  The last pumpkin bread I made was from The Joy of Vegan Baking and that one came out way too mushy and somewhat undercooked. I am not sure if it was the fact that I made this recipe into muffins instead of loafs or if the recipe was just better written, but these came out perfectly cooked (in about 35 minutes for muffins). The doubled recipe made two and a half muffin tins, which would be awesome if I hadn't made these so sickeningly chocolaty, haha.  Great recipe, though! I will definitely be making these again, with about half the chocolate chips.    P.S. I used the called for amount of sugar and substituted the water with regular soy milk, then added about 6 table spoons vanilla extract   Didn't have any all-spice, so I just did nutmeg, cinnamon and about 1/2 the called for amount of cloves.However, in hindsight I think I would like it to have a little more clove flavoring next time.

I took some tips from the comments and cut the sugar down to 1 cup and used applesauce instead of marg.  I also used flax eggs.  This recipe is great plain as well, although the chocolate chips make it decadent!  Today was my first time trying it with choco and I think I'll reduce it to 3/4 cup or possibly 1/2 cup next time.  One cup is a little overkill I think.

Re: baking time, 80 minutes does the trick for me.

These were REALLY tasty. I used half the amount of sugar listed and I kinda wish I used half the amount of choco-chips listed. Next time I will. Made them into muffins and I topped with a vanilla glaze! mmmmm! Taking my muffins to a Halloween party tonight! Thanks for the recipe!

I just made these for the second time.  THe first time they were mushy and my kids didn't go for them.  I made them as muffins this time and the last.  This time I put them in mini muffin tins for kids' school snack and they are so delicious.  Yum!!!!!! They passed the kids' taste test as well.  Thanks for sharing!!
