I can’t wait for you to try this FLOURLESS GINGERBREAD LOAF. If you follow me, you know that I make a lot of loaf recipes. This one might be my favourite! What I love most about this recipe are the spices. Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and molasses are used to give a gingerbread that tastes like the holidays. SO GOOD!
This loaf is made with no wheat flour and no added sugar. There is less than 1 tsp of sugar per slice. Not bad considering the gingerbread loaf at Starbucks has 12.25 tsp of sugar per slice.
The problem with the holidays is that everybody overloads on sugar, bad fats, refined carbohydrates and calories! It’s truly not good. “Everything in moderation” they say. But when moderation is not defined, it can get out of control. This loaf allows you to enjoy a taste of the season without all the bad fats, sugars and refined carbohydrates.
This healthy loaf is naturally gluten free, grain free, almost sugar free, keto and paleo friendly. I hope you enjoy it!

How to Store this Flourless Gingerbread Loaf
Wrap loaf with a clean dish towel. It’s ok on the counter at room temperature for a day or two. After that, transfer loaf to a ziploc bag or an airtight glass container. Refrigerate for up to 5-7 days. Freezes well. I would suggest you cut the loaf before freezing.
