Ingredients

  • 120 ml maple syrup
  • 450 ml oat milk
  • 450 g unsweetened plum jam
  • 10 g cocoa powder (2 tbsp; strongly defatted)

  • 0.5 tbsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Whisk together maple syrup, oat milk and plum jam. Stir in cocoa powder, salt and gingerbread spices.

  2. 2.

    Sift the flour with baking soda and baking powder. Fold into the wet mixture until a smooth dough forms.
