Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few melted chocolate streaks are okay).
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
