Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup oat flour
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • + 1 teaspoon orange zest optional

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup dairy-free milk
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup applesauce
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Frosting Ingredients

  • cup coconut cream the solid part that forms at the top of a can of coconut milk when refrigerated
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • optional: coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • Start by combining all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mixing them well.
  • Next, in a separate bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine.
  • Grease a loaf pan and pour the gingerbread batter into it.
  • Bake the loaf for 40-45 minutes at 350*F/ 175*C.
  • While the loaf is baking, create the frosting.
  • *Make sure that the coconut cream has been refrigerated overnight before using it!
  • Open up the can of coconut cream and scoop out ⅔ cup of just the solid part that has formed at the top. Add it to a bowl. To that bowl also add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix everything well.
  • Once the gingerbread has baked (and has completely cooled off), frost it with the coconut cream frosting. Sprinkle some coconut flakes on top to make it even more festive!
  • Store the gingerbread in the fridge for up to a week. Don't leave it out of the refrigerator for too long or the frosting will melt!
