For the dry components: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Set this mixture aside.

For the wet components: In a larger bowl, combine the oil, egg whites, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Mix at a medium speed until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients.
