Guys… WOW! This is my second attempt at this gingerbread loaf because I really wanted it to be perfect for you babes as a holiday dessert! And oh baby is it ever perfect!!!!
It’s vegan, gluten, grain, refined sugar, egg, dairy, soy free & even possibly nut free, yet you’d NEVER know it’s this healthy because it’s so damn delicious!! So good that it’s drool worthy.
It’s crumbly on the outside & moist & chewy on the inside, just like a good ‘ol bread should be & it’s the perfect balance between savoury & sweet!
