Beth’s Mini Gingerbread Men

Ingredients


Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup quinoa flour
  • 3 Tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp stevia

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup organic virgin coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Makes about 40

  1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Preheat oven to 360°F.
  3. Thoroughly mix dry ingredients together, ensuring there are no lumpies.
  4. First blend coconut oil and molasses together.  Then add the egg and vanilla.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix together.
  6. On top of a flat surface covered with parchment paper, press the dough with your hands until it is ~ 1/4 inch thick.  You may want to rub your hands with some coconut oil before pressing the dough.  The dough is sticky.
  7. Cut out your mini gingerbread men with a cookie cutter.  Use a spatula to transfer them to the baking sheet.  If the room temperature is high, you may need to transfer the dough to the freezer for a few minutes to make it easier to press and cut the cookies.  A high room temperature may make your dough too soft and it will be difficult to cut your little men.
  8. Bake for 10-11 minutes or until done.
