Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line with parchment paper a 10-inch x 15-inch jelly roll pan (25 cm x 38 cm) and slightly oil it with cooking oil spray.
In a mixing bowl, stir flax meal with lukewarm water. Set aside until it looks jiggly and thick.
In another bowl, whisk almond milk, oil, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg.
Whisk in coconut sugar or brown sugar, pumpkin spices, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until it forms a thick orange pumpkin mixture.
Sift in the flour and stir with a silicone spatula until just incorporated.
Pour in a single even layer onto the prepared pan and bake for 20-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool completely at room temperature on a wire rack before frosting.
Cut into bars or squares and serve them with a pinch of cinnamon.
