For the Gingerbread:

1 cup and 2 tablespoons of gluten-free flour

How to Prepare Simple Gingerbread Houses [Vegan, Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free]

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, coconut oil, ground ginger, and molasses. Add more flour if too wet or coconut oil if too dry.
Mix and bring together with your hands until a dough forms.
Lay a sheet of baking paper on your work surface, place the dough on top, lay another piece of baking paper on top of the dough, and then roll out the dough using a rolling pin. It’s much easier, and the dough doesn’t stick to the worktop or rolling pin.
Using a gingerbread house template, lay them on top of the dough and cut around the shapes.
