Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds with 2 1/2 tablespoons of water and let sit for 5 minutes until thickened.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, canola oil, prepared flax egg, and soy milk until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined without overmixing.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle pepitas over the top.
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
