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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsweetened applesauce, molasses, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once cooled, cut the gingerbread into squares and serve. Enjoy this classic and healthy sugar-free treat!
