Ingedients:

• Cooking spray
• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
• 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line an 8" x 4" loaf pan with parchment paper then grease with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, and nutmeg.
3. In a separate large bowl using a hand mixer, beat melted butter, sugar, pumpkin puree, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving 2 tablespoons for topping loaf, and transfer batter to prepared pan. Smooth top with an offset spatula and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
5. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes, covering the top with a foil tent after 1 hour if top appears to be getting too dark.
6. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan and slicing.
