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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, soak the pitted dates in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
Once the dates have softened, drain them and puree in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, mix together the date puree, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 6
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly to form a dough.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to touch.
Step 9
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the ginger biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
