Grease or line two 8 x 4 loaf pans and set aside

Combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl and set aside. 

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, applesauce, eggs, sugars, and vanilla extract. 

Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the batter is nice and smooth. 

Stir in chocolate chips. 

Pour batter into prepared loaf pans.

Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the loaves rest for a few minutes in the pans before removing and placing the loaves on a wire rack.
