Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 F degrees. Spray 2 9x5" loaf pans with a baking spray (I use this one), and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Whisk to combine well. Set aside.
To the bowl of a stand mixer (or large mixing bowl and use a handheld mixer), add butter and sugar and beat on MED until well blended, about 1-2 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating in between each addition. Beat about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin and beat until mixed.
Add half of the dry ingredients mixture, beating on LOW until JUST combined. Add remaining dry ingredients mixture and beat on LOW again until just combined.
Remove bowl from mixer and stir in 3/4 cup chocolate chips. Pour batter into both prepared loaf pans, dividing the batter as evenly as possible.
Bake 60-75 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let loaves cool in the pans about 10-15 minutes, then remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
After loaves are on the wire cooling rack, if desired, sprinkle with a few extra chocolate chips. The residual heat from the loaves will soften them, but not melt them completely all over the bread.

OPTIONAL GANACHE DRIZZLE:

Heat heavy cream in the microwave until bubbling and hot, about 1 minute. Place chocolate chips in a bowl and pour hot cream over the top. Let sit a few minutes, then use a spoon to stir until it becomes a glossy chocolate sauce. Use spoon to drizzle over the top of the cooling loaves.

Notes

If you're worried about your chocolate chips sinking to the bottom of the bread, you can toss them in a tsp or so of flour first, which will help them stay more scattered throughout the batter.
Spoon and sweep method:
Use a spoon to transfer flour into your measuring cup until it mounds up over the top. Use the back of a butter knife to sweep the excess flour off to make it level.
