For the flax eggs

2 tbsp ground flaxseed
6 tbsp water

For the batter

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Brown-sugar replacements vary in moisture, spread, and browning, so follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
⅓ cup neutral oil (such as canola oil or sunflower oil)
¼ cup plant-based milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper that overhangs the two long sides, so you can lift the loaf out cleanly.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and 6 tbsp water. Set aside for at least 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel.
