- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree (I prefer Libby's)
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups (400 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ cup applesauce , or 2 pouches
- ½ cup vegetable oil

Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease 2 8x4-inch loaf pans.
- Dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ginger.
- Wet ingredients. In a large bowl, mix together 1 can pumpkin, 4 eggs, 2 cups sugar, 1/2 cup apple sauce, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/2 cup oil. Slowly add flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Add batter to loaf pans. Divide the batter between the 2 pans. You can also add a few additional chocolate chips on the top of the batter, if desired.
- Bake. Bake 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool. Let cool in the pan 5 to 10 minutes before removing onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
