Now, let’s get started on this mouthwatering recipe. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Yes, it’s time to get this pumpkin party started!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, including flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger. Don’t be shy; make sure to get in there and mix it up real good.
In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients, including pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy, like a warm hug in a bowl.
Now it’s time to bring it all together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix, or you’ll end up with a dense loaf. We want it to be light and fluffy, like a cloud.
Stir in those delicious chocolate chips. Because, let’s be real, who doesn’t love chocolate and pumpkin together?

Pour the batter into two 9×5-inch loaf pans and smooth the tops. You can also use one 1-pound loaf pan, just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Pop those loaves into the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the bread is baking, prepare the chocolate ganache drizzle. Yes, it’s as easy as it sounds. Simply melt some chocolate chips with a bit of heavy cream in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Drizzle that chocolate ganache over the cooled bread and slice it up. It’s time to indulge in this heavenly treat.
This chocolate chip pumpkin bread is perfect on its own, but it’s also amazing with a smear of salted butter. The sweet and salty combination is absolute perfection.
