Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two loaf pans with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the water and flaxseed meal together and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens up. In a larger bowl, combine the flaxseed mixture with the applesauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and almond milk, then stir in the pumpkin puree. In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until everything is just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and pop them into the oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Once done, let the loaves cool in their pans for about 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
