Everything can be made with ingredients that are usually already in the home. You can even make the gingerbread spice yourself with our simple recipe.
1. Organic gingerbread spice
Organic gingerbread spice is available to buy, but can be hard to find everywhere.
Here is a simple recipe. Mix the following to have a natural gingerbread spice that can be used in all gingerbread recipes.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp ginger
- 2 tbsp organic cinnamon
- 1 tbsp organic cardamom
- 1 tbsp ground organic clove
- optional addition: 1 tsp organic vanilla powder
2. Raw gingerbread balls
Don’t miss trying our delicious raw food recipe.
Raw balls don’t get crispy like regular gingerbread cookies, but are very tasty as soft little bites with a festive flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 dl walnuts
- 2 dl dates
- 0.5 dl shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1.5 tbsp gingerbread spice (see recipe above)
- 1 pinch sea salt or Himalayan salt
Instructions:
- Grind walnuts into a crumbly flour in a food processor.
- Add the dates and blend again until you get a sticky dough.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and blend lightly until everything is mixed (do not blend too long – the dough should feel a bit crumbly and airy, not buttery).
- Shape into small balls with your hands and then flatten them into cookies on a baking sheet or plate.
- Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
3. Dates with gingerbread flavor
A very simple way to enjoy the flavors of Christmas is these gingerbread-flavored dates. Surprisingly tasty and healthy.
Ingredients:
- Medjool dates
- 1 tbsp coconut oil for about 200 grams of dates
- 1 tbsp gingerbread spice (see recipe above)
Instructions:
- Gently melt the coconut oil.
- Put dates and coconut oil in a bowl and mix well. Let cool slightly.
- Sprinkle gingerbread spice over and gently toss to evenly spread the spices over the surface of the dates (which are now sticky from the coconut oil so the spice sticks well).
- Let cool in the fridge or at room temperature and place in a bowl on the table.
4. Gingerbread Chaga Latte
A truly wonderful and healthy drink to enjoy during the Christmas season.
Double the recipe if making for two, or even more.
Ingredients for 1 cup:
- 1.5 dl coconut milk
- 1 dl hot water
- 1 tsp chaga powder
- 1 tsp gingerbread spice (see recipe above)
- 2 tsp coconut palm sugar
- 1 pinch organic vanilla powder

Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until you get a frothy and creamy texture. Yum!
