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. In a larger bowl, combine the thickened flaxseed mixture with applesauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, almond milk, and pumpkin puree—give it a good stir until everything is well mixed.

Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet pumpkin mixture and gently fold everything together until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans.

Step 3
Pop the pans into the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Once done, let the breads cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
