Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Molasses
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, allowing the edges to overhang for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsweetened applesauce, molasses, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the gingerbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before using the parchment edges to lift it out and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut the gingerbread into squares and serve. Enjoy this classic and healthy sugar-free treat!
