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 together using a rubber spatula or a
wooden spoon. There will be a few lumps. Do not over-mix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan(s). Bake for 60-65
minutes, making sure to loosely cover the bread with aluminum
foil halfway through to prevent the top from getting too brown.
The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center
comes out clean with only a few small moist crumbs. This may
be before or after 60-65 minutes depending on your oven, so
begin checking every 5 minute at the 55 minute mark or so.
