Vegan Pumpkin Bread

01Method

1. 1

   Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat two loaf pans with cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, stir together the water and flaxseed meal. Set aside for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine the flaxseed mixture with the applesauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and almond milk. Fold in the pumpkin puree.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, sea salt, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. Distribute the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.

5. 5

   Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow the loaves to rest in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
