Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In a large bowl, mix pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the loaf tender.
  • Reserve a handful of chocolate chips to sprinkle on top before baking for a decorative finish.
  • Wrap cooled bread in plastic wrap to maintain moisture.
