Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Molasses
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, applesauce, molasses, and brown sugar. Mix well until smooth and uniform.
Stir in the vanilla extract and almond milk into the wet mixture until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the gingerbread dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the gingerbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the gingerbread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
