To Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, so there is an overhang on each side, and set aside.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted and starts to brown. It will have a warm, nutty smell and caramel color. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, add the pumpkin puree and eggs. Whisk together until combined. Add both sugars, along with the browned butter.
Add the dry ingredients (flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, cinnamon and salt) all at once to the bowl of wet ingredients. Slowly whisk together until a thick batter forms and all of the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop the batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread comes out clean.
