    Using a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves until combined.

    Gradually mix in the flour mixture into the wet pumpkin mixture until combined.

    Next, stir in the sliced cranberries and ¾ C of the pecan chips until everything has combined.

    Evenly divide the batter between the two loaf pans.

    Before you place the pans in the oven, sprinkle some whole cranberries and the remaining pecan chips onto the top of the batter.

    Place into the cranberry pumpkin bread in the oven and bake for 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
