Pumpkin bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a loaf pan with cooking spray.
    In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Set aside for ~5 minutes to thicken.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, soy milk, oil, vanilla extract, and coconut sugar until well combined.
  4. Transfer the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir together with a spatula until there are no flour streaks left, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Add the batter to the greased loaf pan and top with either streusel or pumpkin seeds.
  6. Bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to finish cooling, then slice and serve while warm. Enjoy!
