Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and coconut sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Whisk until smooth and uniformly mixed.
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; stir just until combined.
If using, fold in the walnuts or pecans and dark chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pumpkin bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
