Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 and 1/4 teaspoons baking soda, 1 and 3/4 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk together until combined.

In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup neutral oil, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2/3 cup light brown sugar, 2 eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth.

Add 1 cup chocolate chips to the dry mixture and toss to combine.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense bread.

Transfer the batter into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Optionally, add a handful of chocolate chips on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes. After 1 hour, tent with foil to prevent over-browning.

Check for doneness by inserting a skewer into the center; it should come out clean. Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
