For my complete collection of Christmas recipes check out my festive ebook!

A plant-based version that still captures the essence of traditional gingerbread, making it the perfect treat for your festive celebrations.

Ingredients

100g vegan butter*

3 tbsp golden syrup

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 1/2 cups flour

Method

In a saucepan, melt together warm butter, golden syrup, and sugar. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Sift the remaining ingredients into a bowl and mix. Add the melted butter mixture and stir until a dough forms.

Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for an hour.

After chilling, preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius and remove the dough.

On a floured surface, roll out the gingerbread dough to about 1/2 cm thickness, working with small pieces at a time. Use cookie cutters to create desired shapes and place them evenly on two lined baking trays.

Bake in the oven for 7-10 minutes or until golden.

Allow the gingerbread to cool completely, then decorate if you please and enjoy your festive treats!
