Ingredients

24 servings

1 tbsp ground flaxseed
3 tbsp water
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
Ingredient note
Though high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of butter (~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
⅓ cup unsulfured molasses
