Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray 2 9x5 loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mix the pumpkin, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, sour cream, eggs, molasses, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg together until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix gently until just combined.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Divide the mixture between the prepared pans, sprinkling a few chocolate chips over the top.
  2. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and flip out of the pans.
  4. Allow to cool completely on wire racks before slicing.

Notes

For a healthier version, reduce sugar or substitute oil with Greek yogurt. Slice and wrap individual pieces for easy snacks. This bread is great for meal prep.
