Equipment

  • loaf pans
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 cups canned pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup applesauce OR canola oil substitute as desired
  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips reserve a few for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease two 8 × 4-inch loaf pans and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin, brown sugar, granulated sugar, applesauce or oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until moistened and combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving the mini chips to sprinkle on top.
  • Pour half the batter into each prepared pan. Sprinkle reserved mini chips on top if desired.
  • Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

No mixer needed—speeds things up and reduces cleanup. You can substitute applesauce for oil as a lighter option. Perfectly moist texture keeps well for several days. Suggested toppings: honey butter, brown sugar-cinnamon butter, pumpkin butter, softened butter or cream cheese, or a drizzle of honey. Variations: swap in nuts, different flavored chips (like butterscotch), dried fruit, or top with glaze.
