ALMOND FLOUR
The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in almond flour can provide important health benefits. For example, manganese helps the body properly clot blood, allowing it to heal after injuries.
EGG
One egg has 6 grams of the stuff, with all nine “essential” amino acids, the building blocks of protein.
COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil helps bolster your skin's protective barrier layer, trapping moisture inside and keeping skin supple and hydrated.
HONEY
The benefits of honey are most pronounced when it is replacing another, unhealthier sweetener.
GINGERBREAD
Gingerbread provides the benefits of niacin, folate, and other nutrients as well. One serving of gingerbread will give you 1.8 mg of niacin and 12 percent of folate for your recommended daily intake. These nutrients are the ones that have a role in maintaining the healthy cell development and promotes the gene activity.
BAKING SODA/POWDER
The primary benefit of baking soda/Powder is for the temporary relief of indigestion or heartburn.
Ingredients
140 g (4.9 oz) Almond Flour (or finely Ground Almonds)
-
140 g (4.9 oz) Organic Whole Vegan Protein Smoothie Mix
2 Egg whites
-
3 Tbsp Honey or Vegan Bee-free honey
80 g (2.8 oz) Dried Raisins
2 Tbsp Gingerbread Spice Mix
1/2 tsp Baking Powder or Bicarbonate Soda
Directions
Blend together almond flour, protein powder, raisins, baking powder and gingerbread spice mix in a food processor.
When the mass is solid, add all the remaining ingredients and blend again until a fine dough is formed.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into desired thickness - the thinner the dough will be, the crunchier gingerbread you get and the thicker it will be, the more tender gingerbread will come out of it.
Place the rolled dough into freezer for 20 minutes or into refrigerator for 2 hours.
Next, cut the cookie shapes from the dough, put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake (using protein powder) for 15-20 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius (300 degrees Fahrenheit), or (without protein powder) for 20-25 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius (300 degrees Fahrenheit) until golden.
During baking, be careful not to burn them. If they already start to turn brown, remove them out of the oven.
After they cool down, you can decorate them to your liking.
