Healthy Christmas Gingerbread Mini Loaves
A soft & super nutritious gingerbread loaf is the perfect recipe for a healthy Christmas for baby led weaning & makes a yummy present from your little one
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 250 g blackstrap molassas
- 120 g butter
- 250 ml milk of your choice I used oat milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 360 g plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180ºC.
- Using a hand blender or mixer, beat the eggs, blackstrap molasses and butter together until it becomes smooth and creamy then beat in the milk and vanilla until totally combined.
- Slowly beat in the flour, baking powder and spices until the mixture resembles a thick batter.
- I used 4 mini loaf tins lined with parchment paper but you can also use 2 large ones as well. Fill the tins 3/4 ways to the top as the cake will rise.
- Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes if using the mini loaf tins or 50-60 minutes for the larger tins. When cooked a skewer should come out clean.
- Cool fully before serving.
