Ingredients
  

1 cup canned pure pumpkin

1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

          Mix It Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!

            Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool Down: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the loaf and serve at room temperature or toasted with a touch of butter for a delicious treat!
