Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray two 9 inch loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric or stand mixer mix together eggs, oil and pumpkin. Add sugar and dry pudding, mix until combined.
Slowly, add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes. REDUCE heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before removing from loaf pans.
Notes
Swap the Chocolate Chips. You can add dried cranberries, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds instead.
Cool in the Pan. Allow your pumpkin bread to cool completely before removing it from the pan. This time gives the bread a chance to firm up so it doesn't fall apart during removal.
Don't Over Mix. Add the dry ingredients to the wet slowly and mix only until combined.
