Piparkoogid

  • 1 cup mandlijahu
  • 3/4 cup flax meal
  • 1/2 cup organic coconut flour
  • 4 pitted medjool dates
  • 1/3 cup dried ‘naked’ ginger (naked refers to it being un-crystallized and not coated in sugar)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp jahvatatud muskaatpähkel
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 tbsp organic coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp rice malt syrup
  • 1 egg
  1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius. 
  2. Combine all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl (or food processor)
  3. In a separate bowl or blender - blend the medjool dates and dried ginger together to form a paste
  4. Add the date and ginger paste and all other wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the food processor or large bowl. Mix until well combined. (Note: doing this in a food processor is far easier than by hand, but if you don’t have one it can still be done by hand - might just take a little longer).
  5. Place the mixture on to a sheet of greaseproof paper. Lay another sheet over the top and, using a rolling pin or similar, flatten out the mixture until it is approximately 1cm thick. 
  6. Leaving the mixture in the grease proof paper, place in the fridge lying flat, to set for around 30 minutes to 1 hour. 
  7. Remove from the fridge and cut gingerbread into desired shapes - placing on a greaseproof paper lined tray. 
  8. Bake in the oven on a low shelf for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
