Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds flavor.

Juice half a lemon to get 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

Prepare egg replacer using 4.5 teaspoons of egg replacer mixed with 6 tablespoons of water.

Whisk the egg replacer mixture until combined.

In a bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, lemon juice, and egg mixture.

Add sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the pumpkin mixture and mix until combined.

Gradually add the flour to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined without over-stirring.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Spray a parchment-lined cookie sheet with canola oil.

Pour the pumpkin mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet and spread it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

While the pumpkin roll is baking, prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing 1/4 cup of Earth Balance, 1 package of tofutti cream cheese, and 1 cup of vegan powdered sugar together.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth.

Place the cream cheese filling in the freezer until ready to use.

Check the pumpkin roll after 15 minutes; if it doesn't bounce back, bake for an additional 2 minutes.

Once done, dust the surface with powdered sugar and invert the cake onto a clean towel.

Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up with the towel starting from the short end.

Let the rolled cake cool completely in the fridge for 1 hour.

Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface.

Re-roll the cake without the towel and wrap it in plastic wrap.

Chill the rolled cake in the freezer for 1 hour before slicing.
