Everything can be prepared with ingredients that are typically already available at home. You can even make the gingerbread spice yourself with our simple recipe.
1. Organic Gingerbread Spice
Organic gingerbread spice is available to purchase, but it can be difficult to find everywhere. Here is a simple recipe. Mix the following ingredients together and you'll have a natural gingerbread spice that can be used in all gingerbread recipes.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp organic ground ginger
2 tbsp organic cinnamon
1 tbsp organic cardamom
1 tbsp organic ground cloves
optional addition: 1 tsp organic vanilla powder
2. Raw Gingerbread Balls
Don't miss trying our delicious raw food recipe. Raw balls aren't crispy like traditional gingerbread cookies, but they are very tasty as soft little bites with a Christmas flavor.
Ingredients:
2 dl walnuts
2 dl pitted 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:
Blend walnuts into a crumbly flour in a food processor.
Add 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 somewhat crumbly and airy, not buttery).
Form small balls with your hands and then flatten them into cookies on a tray or plate.
Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator 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 dates with gingerbread flavor. Surprisingly delicious and healthy.
Ingredients:
Medjool dates
1 tbsp coconut oil for about 200 grams of dates
1 tbsp gingerbread spice (see recipe above)
Instructions:
Melt the coconut oil gently.
Place dates and coconut oil in a bowl and mix well. Let cool slightly.
Sprinkle the gingerbread spice over and turn gently to spread the spices evenly over the surface of the dates (which are now sticky from the coconut oil so the spice will adhere properly).
Let cool in the refrigerator or at room temperature and serve in a bowl at the table.
4. Gingerbread Chaga Latte
A completely wonderful and healthy drink to enjoy during the holiday season. Double the recipe if you're making it for two, or why not more.
Ingredients for 1 cup:
1.5 dl coconut milk
1 dl hot water
1 tsp chaga extract in powder form
1 tsp gingerbread spice (see recipe above)
2 tsp coconut palm sugar
1 pinch organic vanilla powder
Instructions:
Place all ingredients in a blender and mix at highest speed for 1-2 minutes until you get a foamy and creamy consistency. Yummy! Hope you enjoy these wonderful, plant-based gingerbread recipes.
