Ingredients

Prepare Oven and Pan

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit with a rack positioned in the lower third. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.

Whisk Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with both sugars until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and orange juice, stirring until thoroughly combined.

Combine and Add Chocolate Chips

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake the Bread

Bake for 60 to 65 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil halfway through baking. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the bread completely in the pan on a wire rack before removing.
