Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons water

  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal

  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • cup canola oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups unseasoned pumpkin puree

  • 2 cups white whole-wheat flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

  2. Combine water and flaxseed meal in a small bowl. Let stand for a few minutes.

  3. Whisk almond milk, sugar, oil, vanilla and the flaxseed mixture in a medium bowl. Stir in pumpkin puree. Whisk flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon) and salt in a large bowl. Add the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips, if using. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.

  4. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out on a wire rack. Let cool for 1 hour before slicing.

Tips

To make ahead: Store loaf, well wrapped, at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 4 months.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
