3/4 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin puree

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) sugar

1/2 cup packed (3 1/2 ounces) light brown sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

3/4 cup (4 1/2 ounces) chocolate chips

1. Adjust oven rack to the middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray inside bottom and sides of an 8 1/2­by­4 1/2-inch metal loaf pan with vegetable oil spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and baking soda. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

3. In a large saucepan, combine pumpkin puree, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with rubber spatula, until mixture just begins to bubble, 4 to 6 minutes.

4. Remove from heat. Add sugar, brown sugar and oil to pumpkin mixture and whisk until combined. Let mixture cool for 10 minutes. Whisk again until mixture is very smooth.

5. Add egg mixture to pumpkin mixture and whisk to combine. Add flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to stir until just combined and no dry flour is visible. Stir chocolate chips into batter. Do not overmix. Scrape batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.

6. Place loaf pan in the oven. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pumpkin bread comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Place the loaf pan on a cooling rack and let pumpkin bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

7. Remove pumpkin bread from pan. Let pumpkin bread cool on the cooling rack for at least 1 hour. Transfer to a cutting board, slice and serve.
