Homemade Ginger Snaps
Healthy ginger snaps baked deliciously grain-free and delightfully crispy to enjoy as a snack or tucked into lunchboxes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almonds soaked or sprouted, preferably organic
- 1/2 cup butter softened, preferably grassfed
- 1 cup arrowroot flour
- 1 egg preferably pastured
- 1/2 cup sucanat or date syrup
- 1 Tbsp filtered water
- 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
-
Pulse crispy or sprouted almonds in a food processor until they are ground into almond flour. It is not necessary for the almond flour to be extremely finely ground as a more coarse texture works well when mixed with the arrowroot powder.
-
Blend in remaining ingredients. Form into balls the size of a ping pong ball and arrange on greased, stainless steel cookie sheets (I do not recommend parchment paper as it is coated with hormone-disrupting silicone).
-
Bake at 300 °F/ 149 °C for 20 minutes, removing pan from the oven after 5 minutes to press each ball lightly with a fork before baking the remaining amount of time.
-
Cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
