These gingerbread cookies are vegan, glutenfree, refined sugar free, healthy and super delicious! The recipe makes about 16 big gingerbread cookies. I was really surprised how good they turned out! Seriously the best gingerbread I baked so far. They can definitely compete with the original or maybe they’re even better. Let me know if you tried them š These are definitely a good choice if you want to show your non-vegan friends or family that vegan and healthy food can be super delicious as well. Keep them in an airtight box to keep them from drying out. I don’t now yet how long they are durable. But I think about 1-2 weeks when they’re not in the fridge.
Ingredients
Dry:
- 200g buckwheat (buckwheat flour)
- 200g quick oats (oat flour)
- 1tbsp / 5g gingerbread spice
- 100g coconut blossom sugar
- 30g ground almonds
- 30g ground hazelnuts
- 1tsp baking powder
Wet:
- 500g sweetpotato (raw weight)
- 1 ripe banana
- 30g coconut oil (melted)
- 1tbsp apple cider vinegar
Directions
- Bake the whole sweetpotatoes at 200Ā°C / 392Ā°F for about 1 hour.
- While they are baking blend the oats and buckwheat to flour and add them to a bowl together with all the dry ingredients and stir them together.
- Take the sweetpotatoes out of the oven, let them cool down for a few minutes and peel them. Mash them with a fork and add them into a pan. Cook them for about 10 minutes while stirring (to evaporate some water).
- Blend the sweetpotato mash together with the banana and add the mixture to the bowl together with all wet ingredients.
- Stir everything together and kneed with your hands until you have a dough.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or towel and let it sit for about an hour (at roomtemperature).
- Prepare a baking tray lined with baking paper (or better 2).
- Roll the dough out with a rolling pin on a clean and even surface (about 8mm thick). You don’t need any flour, it shouldn’t be sticky.
- Preheat the oven to 175Ā°C / 347Ā°F.
- Cut out your gingerbreads with a glass or little cookie cutters if you like and place them on the baking tray.
- Repeat the rolling and cutting process until there’s no dough left.
- Bake the cookies at 175Ā°C /347Ā°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until they become slightly brown on the edges.
- Let them cool down and cover them with dark melted chocolate, enjoy them plain or add another glaze of your choice.
