Ingredients

Pumpkin loaf:

2 c all-purpose flour
1½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp ground allspice
½ c brown sugar
2 flax eggs
⅓ c avocado oil
1½ c pumpkin puree
2 tsp vanilla

Maple glaze:

½ tbsp vegan butter
⅛ c maple syrup
¼ tsp vanilla
½ c powdered sugar

Instructions

First, make your flax eggs. Mix two tablespoons of flax meal with six tablespoons of water then set aside to let thicken.
Preheat your oven to 350℉ (180℃), then grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with a high-heat oil or butter.
Next in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, add the brown sugar, oil, pumpkin puree, flax eggs, and vanilla. Stir until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a rubber spatula or spoon. Be careful not to overmix, a few lumps are okay!
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until you can poke it with a knife and it comes out clean.
Let cool for at least 10 minutes before trying to remove from the loaf pan. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.
While the pumpkin loaf cools, make your maple glaze. Combine room-temperature vegan butter with maple syrup and vanilla. Add in the powdered sugar and whisk until smooth.
Once the pumpkin loaf is fully cooled, spread the maple glaze on top. Slice, then enjoy!
