Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp Ground ginger
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 60 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 60 ml Coconut oil, melted
- 200 g Pitted dates
- 120 ml Hot water
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, soak the pitted dates in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Once the dates have softened, drain them and puree in a food processor or blender until smooth.
In a medium bowl, mix together the date puree, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly to form a dough.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to touch.
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the ginger biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
