Ingredients

24 servings

For the flax egg

1 tbsp ground flaxseed
3 tbsp water

For the dough

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp ground ginger
Ingredient note
Small amounts of ground ginger are often well-tolerated on a low histamine diet. This recipe only uses about 1/8 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Ingredient note
Some low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe uses only a very small amount of cinnamon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup vegan butter, softened
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
⅓ cup unsulfured molasses
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the icing

1 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
2–3 tbsp plant-based milk

Instructions

1
Stir together the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl until combined. Set aside for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel.
2
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
