Vegan Gingersnaps Recipes

CRISPY VEGAN GINGERSNAPS

Steps:

• Combine almond flour, coconut flour, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl. Whisk almond butter, honey, and melted coconut oil together in a separate bowl. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix together until a dough forms.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Form dough into balls, then press to flatten onto the prepared baking sheet using the palm of the hand, the back of a spoon, or a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are browned but still soft, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove cookies from oven and let cool 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely; store in an airtight container to keep cookies crispy.

VEGAN GINGER LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Oil a 900g loaf tin (ours was 19 x 9 x 6cm) and line with a long strip of baking parchment. Mix the flour, muscovado sugar, baking powder and ground ginger together in a large bowl. Tip in the oil, treacle, grated stem ginger and 170ml cold water, then beat together until smooth using a wooden spoon.
• Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the centre of the oven for 45-50 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.
• Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl, add the ginger syrup and mix in just enough lemon juice to make a thick, pourable icing that can coat the back of a spoon. Put the cake on a plate or stand, remove the parchment and drizzle over the icing. Immediately scatter over the stem ginger. Cut the cake into thick slices to serve.

VEGAN GINGER COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredient (except sugar) into a bowl and set aside.
• In a large bowl combine wet ingredients, including sugar and whisk or beat on medium until blended.
• Stir in the pre-sifted dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
• The dough will be quite sticky and you may need to dampen your hands to work with it. Roll the dough into little balls (about 1 Tablespoon) and flatten out to your liking.
• The thinner the cookie the crisper it will be - a slightly thicker cookie will yield a crunch on the edges and a slightly chewy interior.
• Press the coarse sugar onto the tops of the cookies and bake about 10 minutes at 350 on a greased cookie sheet.

• Cream coconut oil, molasses, and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer; add vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture; mix until a sticky dough forms, about 2 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
• Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/4 to 1/2-inch thickness. Dip cookie cutter in flour, cut out cookies, and place on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
