Guilt-Free Vegan Gingerbread Cookies for Christmas

Last Updated on 8 March 2024 by Brisbane Livewell Clinic

Christmas and Christmas treats are just around the corner. We all are planning for our family get-togethers. After all, what is a Christmas without friends and families, right? Especially the family dinner. The laughs, the endless chatters, arguing on silly things, recalling memories, making happy memories, and planning for creating happier memories. And of course, the foods and desserts. What is a good Christmas table without a great dessert? Our personal favourite is these vegan gingerbread cookies for guilt-free Christmas treats. When you bite through the slightly spiced and nicely sweet crunchy outside and suddenly a rich taste of molasses surprises you, you will definitely feel like it is Christmas.

We would like to share this simple, tasty, and low-calorie recipe for vegan gingerbread cookies for your Christmas. We have used almond meal instead of all-purpose flour. Almond meal is one of the best low-carb alternatives of regular flour. It is filled with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other good nutrients. You will get all the benefits of almonds which include reduction of bad cholesterol, weight loss, improved energy level, etc. with this cookie. And the best part is, there is no sugar in the recipe. Thus, if you want to indulge in a guilt-free sweet treat, these gingerbread cookies can be your go-to recipe for all around the year including Christmas.

Another great thing about the recipe is that it is not time-consuming at all. Generally, you have to give the dough some standing time to be ready properly. But in this recipe, there is no need for any standing time. Just knead the dough, roll, and cut, bake, and decorate. And you are ready to feel the Christmas vibe.

Decorating the gingerbread cookies are absolutely up to you. You can enjoy the cookies as it is. And if you want to decorate it to add the Christmas vibe, then healthy and vegan options are endless. You can use store-bought coconut sugar icing, Erythritol icing, almonds, peanuts, sweet cherries, chocolate sprinkles, and so on.

We hope you enjoy your Christmas and that these Cookies add some joy.
