  2. In a small bowl combine 3 tbsp ground flax and 9 tbsp water. Whisk together and set aside for 10 minutes.
  3. Whisk flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, and cloves in a medium bowl.
  4. In a large bowl whisk flax mixture, pumpkin purée, vanilla extract, fresh ginger, & cane sugar in a large bowl. Slowly pour in oil while you whisk constantly until mixture is well incorporated. Gently fold half of dry ingredients into wet mixture, until no dry spots remain. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients, stirring to combine but being careful not to overmix.
