Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, unsweetened almond milk, melted coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a denser bread.
Fold in the pumpkin seeds, reserving a handful for topping the loaf.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining pumpkin seeds evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices plain or with your favorite vegan spread.
