Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 8x4 inch loaf pans with cooking spray, then coat with sugar.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking soda, then set it aside. In another bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, pumpkin, and oil, and use a whisk to mix well. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture, and stir only until moistened.
In a medium-sized bowl, add the 1 T. of flour and bag of chocolate chips. Lightly coat the chocolate chips with the flour. This helps to keep the chocolate chips throughout the batter evenly while it's baking. Add the chocolate chips to the batter, and fold in.
Pour the batter evenly into the loaf pans, and bake for 60-70 minutes or until the center is done, and a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
Optional (instead of vanilla): 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice (mixture of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice)
