    Easy to make Gluten Free Gingerbread men

    There is something special about Gingerbread Men at Christmas (or should I be calling them Gingerbread people?). Just looking at them gives you the feeling of the holidays!

    We always make Gingerbread Men as a family... everyone has a turn at rolling the mixture, cutting out their shapes and of course they get to decorate their own (and somehow each gingerbread takes on a  character all of their own...so cute! )

    Gluten Free Gingerbread men

    So this is a really easy Gluten Free Gingerbread recipe. Easy to make, easy to roll and quick to bake...

    ...and they taste delicious!!

    This year we decided to give them a little touch of colour with bright pink buttons...(we gave them a little touch of Hawaii...:-))

    Easy Gluten Free Gingerbread Men

    Tip - We use Golden Syrup or Maple Syrup in our mixture, as we like the lighter flavour of gingerbread. If you prefer a fuller, deeper flavour you should use dark molasses.  Always use dark brown sugar if you are using golden syrup or maple syrup.

    Ingredients for Gluten Free Gingerbread Men

    • 1 cup soft butter
    • ¼ cup of golden syrup
    • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 1½ cups tapioca flour (arrowroot)
    • 2 cups rice flour
    • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
    • 1teaspoon ginger
    • ¼ teaspoon cloves
    • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
    • ½ teaspoon real salt
    • 2 teaspoons baking soda
    • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
    Method to making Gluten Free Gingerbread Men
    • Preheat the oven at a moderate temperature 180ºC
    • In a mixing bowl, add in the butter, brown sugar and golden syrup  and cream together.
    • Add in the eggs and mix.
    • In another bowl add in the tapioca flour, rice flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, baking soda, xanthan gum and mix together.
    • Add the flour to the butter mixture ....

    Tip - Just add in one cup at a time and mix as the flour mixture is very fine.

    • Place onto a piece of baking paper, wrap and place in the fridge and let it chill for half an hour. This lets the butter become firmer and then it is easier to cut the shapes.Gluten Free Gingerbread mixture rolled flat

    • Cut your cookies and place on baking paper lined trays.
