Gingerbread!

Gingerbread! 

Baking without eggs is a bit challenging, but nothing could keep me from eating gingerbread this year. It was one of my favorite winter after school snacks my mama made us growing up.  ALWAYS coated in powdered sugar and slightly crisp around the edges, I would eat it by the fist full. Mine is a slight variation as its gluten, refined sugar free as well as vegan and instead of the powdered sugar on top and the crispy sides, I added a crumble with Miyokos vegan butter, coconut and oats. 

I’ve been eating it for almost a week for breakfast.  Its moist and crispy and bursting with spice.
