Vegan Vanilla Iced Pumpkin Olive Oil Loaf

Turn the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a loaf pan and line the bottom with a strip of parchment paper. Make the flax egg by mixing 2 tbsp ground flax with 5 tbsp water and place to the side, giving it about 5-10 minutes to set. Add all of the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Add all of the wet ingredients to a separate bowl and mix thoroughly until well combined. Add the now-set flax egg on top and stir through. Add wet mixture to dry and mix until uniform. Pour batter in loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Let it cool completely on the stovetop all day before cutting into it. Note: the original baker found the middle/inside stayed quite raw, which they preferred; the loaf holds together well. Topped here with vanilla yogurt.
