How to Make Aryn S Practically Vegan Pumpkin Bread

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons water. Let sit for 1 minute to create a flax egg.
3. In a blender, combine the flax egg, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, and 1/2 cup water. Blend until smooth.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup brown sugar (or 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup xylitol).
5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans with coconut oil and lightly dust with whole wheat flour.
7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
8. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for later enjoyment.
11. Optional: Add 1/2 cup raisins or 1 cup shredded carrots to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
