Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350°F to prevent the bread from browning too soon. Spray a 9 × 5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt together until combined. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until combined. Whisk in the pumpkin, oil, and orange juice.
Pour these wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix them together. Be sure not to over mix, there will still be a few lumps. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, making sure to loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent the top from browning too much. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf, if it comes out clean with just a few crumbs, the bread is finished baking.
Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack.

Make sure you buy pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling at the grocery store.
You can use this same recipe to make muffins! Simply divide the batter into a greased muffin pan and bake for 17 to 20 minutes at the same temperature.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your bread at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
