1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line two bread pans with parchment paper. Cream together the sugar and butter until combined, then add the eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract; mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

2-Next, alternately add the dry mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry mix to keep the batter even. Fold in the chocolate chips gently to distribute them without breaking. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

3-For mini loaves, bake 25-35 minutes instead. Once done, let the bread cool briefly in the pans before moving to wire racks. This step-by-step approach makes it simple for anyone, from busy parents to baking enthusiasts, to enjoy homemade bread.
