Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and lightly dust with flour or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Chocolate Nut Pumpkin Bread plain, or pair it with butter or cream cheese for an extra indulgent treat!
