0 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
1 In a large bowl, make the flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed and water. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
2 In a medium bowl, add the oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
