Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottoms of two 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pans with parchment paper and spray them with cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and softened butter. Use an electric mixer to beat them together until smooth.

Add the eggs, canned pumpkin, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

Gradually add this dry mixture to the pumpkin mixture, alternating with the milk.

Fold in the chocolate chips gently.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
