Method
 

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice until well combined.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined; be careful not to overmix the batter.
  5. Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined to ensure a tender loaf. For extra flavor, you can toast the nuts if adding them.
