Keto Ginger Bread Men Recipe

This same recipe can be used to make both ginger bread men and ginger bread houses. These cookies will be firm and perfect for building houses.

Ingredients

Cookies:

  • 4 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar substitute
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup coconut oil (or butter) melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Royal Icing:

  • 1 cup Allulose
  • 1 tablespoon egg white powder
  • 2 to 4 tablespoon water, room temperature (more to thin out as necessary)

 

Instructions:

Gingerbread Cookies

    • Preheat the oven to 275ºF and line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, brown sugar alternative, coconut flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and cloves. Stir in the eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the dough comes together.
    • Divide the dough in half and turn out first half onto a large piece of parchment paper. Top with another piece of parchment and roll out about ¼ inch thick.

 

 

  • Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shapes and gently loosen and lift with an offset spatula. Place onto the prepared baking sheets. Gather up scraps and reroll until too little is left to roll out. Repeat with the second half of dough.
  • Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown and just firm to the touch. Remove and let cool 5 minutes on pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

 

Sugar-Free Royal Icing

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the allulose and egg white powder. Add 2 tablespoons of water and stir until smooth. Add more water a little at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
  • Pipe icing onto cooled cookies and let set 30 minutes or longer.

To make a ginger bread house. roll out dough as before and cut out shapes for walls and roof. if you do smaller decorations for your gingerbread home cook those separately to ensure thorough baking.
