Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F then lightly grease a standard 9-inch loaf pan. In a measuring cup, combine the flax and water. Stir together then set aside to thicken.

Step 2

In a large bowl, add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil and flax mixture.

Step 3

To the same bowl, add the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and pumpkin pie spice. Stir together until a batter forms. Transfer to the batter to the loaf pan and smooth down across the edges.

Step 4

Bake in the oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until firm and dark brown on the edges. Set aside to cool for at least an hour before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days (or longer if refrigerated).
