Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Set aside to thicken; this is your flax egg.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, canola oil, flax egg and soy milk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the flour, then sprinkle the baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves on top of the flour. Stir with a large spoon or spatula, gently, until just combined. Do not over mix.

Step 5

Pour into the prepared pan and sprinkle the pepitas on top. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer the loaf to a cooling rack. Slice carefully right away, or let cool completely for easier slicing and serving.
