Gingerbread loaf is one of my all time favorite baked goods. It is moist and dense and festive and awesome.
This Gingerbread Loaf is a little different - it is full of body friendly ingredients, perfect for those of you in particular who are gluten, dairy, grain, or refined sugar free.
And it is super easy to make!
Need I say more?
Gingerbread Loaf:
(makes one large loaf)
3 c ground nut flour (I used almond)
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground mixed spice
1 + 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 + 1/2 c pitted dates, pre-soaked
7 eggs
1 + 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 180C (fan bake).
Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
In a food processor, combine the dates, eggs, and apple cider vinegar - blending until just smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Pour into a lined loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
Serve warm (maybe with a little sneaky butter spread on top...)
