Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with a hand mixer until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
