Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil paper with oil. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, flax egg, canola oil, soy milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla. Set aside.
On top of the bowl, sift the remaining ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger).
Stir until just combined, don't over-stir the batter to avoid packed pumpkin bread. The batter should be thick and dense not runny or overly dry. Optional: fold in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips halfway if desired.
Bake on the center rack for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If not, add 10 minutes and repeat.
Cool down completely on a cooling rack for one hour before eating.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freeze in a sealed box for up to 3 months and thaw the day before eating at room temperature.
Note 1: Or whole wheat flour. For a gluten-free version, use my gluten-free conversion guide.Sugar-free option: Replace the coconut sugar with brown erythritol for a sugar-free, low-carb sweetener.Oil-free option: Replace the oil with the same amount of unsweetened applesauce.The nutrition panel is without any add-ons, using coconut sugar and regular flour.
Oven Mode: I use the fan-forced (convection) mode. If you have to use conventional mode, I recommend increasing the temperature by 25°F (15°C). The baking time should be the same, but it might take a few more minutes.
