Recipes Baking Cookies Vegan Gluten Free

A recipe for gluten-free speculaas cookies was a must. As Sinterklaas approaches, or rather already in September, the stores are once again full of all kinds of goodies. For most treats there are already recipes online, e.g. marzipan, filled speculaas, gluten-free gingerbread, chocolate gingerbread, taai taai, etc. And most of them are free of refined sugars, so you can get through the holidays more or less responsibly.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin up to about 1-2 cm thick. Divide the almonds over the dough and press them lightly. Bake nicely crispy in the oven (175 degrees) on baking paper in 15 minutes. Allow to cool well; Only then does the gingerbread become harder. Break into pieces and store airtight outside the fridge.

These gluten -free gingerbread chunks are also dairy -free (vegan) and do not contain refined sugar. Instead of coconut blossom sugar you can also chop dates and use as a sweetener. Does the dough remain a bit dry? Then add a little extra almond milk. Or some extra flour, if the dough stays too moist. Certainly if you use other types of flour, you have to look a little on feeling whether the amount of moisture is good.

Speculaas chunks are secretly a bit my guilty pleasure. Anyway I am one sucker For all Sinterklaas delicacies; I actually have a lot more with that than with popular Christmas recipes. Delicious!
