Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, water, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until there are no visible streaks of flour. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs (no wet batter).
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
