Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar or a combination of both. You can also add nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the batter. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
