Method
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
- Mix Wet with Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the pumpkin puree, water, and vanilla extract. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can result in a denser bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined for a light, tender loaf.
- Chocolate Variations: Try using dark chocolate chips or even white chocolate chips for a twist.
- Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Spice It Up: For an extra punch of flavor, add a pinch of cardamom or allspice.
