Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Molasses
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Non-dairy milk (such as almond or soy)
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the molasses, brown sugar, applesauce, non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can result in a dense texture.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the gingerbread comes out clean.
Allow the gingerbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve your delicious vegan classic gingerbread. Enjoy!
