Gingerbread biscuits have gradually made their way into these traditional dates, and many people can't conceive of going through this time of year without eating them. And as Christmas is approaching, we have decided to bring you some recipes to accompany the festive season without wasting calories.
We have replaced the butter with healthier fats such as coconut oil. And we've used a little brown sugar for those with a real sweet tooth, but if you prefer, you can leave it out for this recipe.
The dough is made from oatmeal. Gourmet Oat Flour apple-cinnamon which gives it a much richer flavour. Although if you love the original ginger flavour of these biscuits, you can use the Gourmet Oat Flour neutral in taste. Oat flour is a good source of low-sugar protein. Its high fibre content delays the digestion of its starches and the absorption of glucose into the blood.
