Ingredients for Easy Vegan and Gluten-Free Gingerbread Houses

Note: The following ingredients are vegan, gluten-free, and wheat-free, making it accessible to those with dietary restrictions.

For the Gingerbread:

One cup plus two tablespoons of gluten-free flour.
1/3 cup
1 tablespoon of ground ginger
4 tablespoons of blackstrap molasses

For the Icing:

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Preparing Simple Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Wheat-Free Gingerbread Houses

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, melted coconut oil, ground ginger, and dark molasses until well combined. Adjust the ratio by adding a pinch of additional flour to compensate for excess moisture or incorporate a small amount of melted coconut oil to balance out dryness.
Combine ingredients by hand, kneading until a cohesive dough emerges.
Position a sheet of parchment paper on your work area, followed by the dough, a second layer of parchment paper, and finally, guide the mixture into shape with a rolling pin. With this technique, working with the dough becomes a seamless process as it remains non-stick, eliminating any risk of sticking to the countertop or rolling pin.
Utilizing a pre-designed gingerbread house template, place the templates directly onto the dough, ensuring accurate alignment. Then, skillfully trace the template’s outline with a sharp knife or cookie cutter, carefully cutting along the edges to liberate the intricate shapes.
