Everything can be made with ingredients that are usually already available at home. You can even make the gingerbread spice yourself with our simple recipe.
1. Organic gingerbread spice
There is organic gingerbread spice available to buy, but it can be difficult to find everywhere. Here is a simple recipe. Mix the following together and you'll 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 cloves
optional addition: 1 tsp organic vanilla powder
2. Raw gingerbread balls
Don't miss trying our delicious raw food recipe. Raw balls won't be crispy like regular gingerbread cookies, but are very tasty as soft little bites with Christmas 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:
Process walnuts into a crumbly flour in a food processor.
Add dates and process again until you get a sticky dough.
Add the rest of the ingredients and process lightly until everything is mixed (don't process too long – the dough should feel slightly crumbly and airy, not buttery).
Shape into 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:
Gently melt the coconut oil.
Place dates and coconut oil in a bowl and mix well. Let cool slightly.
Sprinkle gingerbread spice over the dates and gently turn them to spread the spices evenly over the surface of the dates (which are now sticky from the coconut oil so the spice will stick properly).
Let cool in the refrigerator or at room temperature and serve in a bowl on the table.
4. Gingerbread chaga latte
A completely wonderful and healthy drink to enjoy during the Christmas 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 powder
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 blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until you get a foamy and creamy consistency. Delicious! Hope you enjoy these wonderful, plant-based gingerbread recipes.
