Ingredients

1 large egg
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup oil
1 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Grease and flour a 9x5" loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, brown sugar and oil with a hand mixer until light and creamy. Add the pumpkin, egg, sour cream and molasses and combine fully.
In a separate smaller bowl, combine the pumpkin spice, cinnamon flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the dry mixture to the pumpkin mixture.
Remove 1/2 cup of the batter to a small bowl and stir in the cocoa powder.
Stir the chocolate chips into the remaining pumpkin batter.
Add half of the pumpkin batter to the loaf pan and smooth down. Top with the cocoa powder-infused batter and smooth down, then top with the remaining pumpkin batter.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
