Method
 

Prepare Streusel
  1. Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  2. Cut in cold butter until coarse crumbs form, then set aside.
Mix Wet Ingredients
  1. Whisk together pumpkin puree, sugars, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Combine Wet and Dry
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  2. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake Bread
  1. Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Evenly sprinkle the prepared streusel topping over the batter.
  3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
Cool and Serve
  1. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra gooey center, gently underbake the bread slightly, but ensure the edges are set.
