Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Add the Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. Reserve a small handful if you’d like to sprinkle some on top before baking.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
