Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • Optional mix-ins: raisins, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, rolled oats, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, molasses, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in your desired mix-ins, such as raisins, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure even baking.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

[‘Use room-temperature eggs for smoother mixing and better texture.’, ‘Measure almond flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off.’, ‘Chill the dough in the fridge for 15-20 minutes if it feels too sticky to handle.’, ‘Don’t skip the molasses—it’s essential for authentic gingerbread flavor.’, ‘Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and chewy.’]
