Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Ground ginger
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 120 g Vegan butter
- 100 g Light brown sugar
- 50 g Molasses
- 60 g Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground nutmeg until evenly combined, then set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the vegan butter and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the molasses, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, scoop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow room for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your Vegan Classic Ginger Biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy!
