Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until well combined.
Mixing
  1. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips into the wet ingredients.
  2. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just blended. Scrape the bowl to ensure thorough mixing.
  3. Grease an 8" x 4" x 3" loaf pan with oil spray.
  4. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips on top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes.
  2. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
Cooling
  1. Allow the bread to cool at room temperature for about 45 minutes before removing it from the pan.
