Ingredients:

  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • Egg substitute equivalent to 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup soymilk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Prepare dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and allspice.

  3. Combine wet ingredients: Add the egg replacer, oil, molasses, milk, vinegar, fresh ginger, and optionally, crystallized ginger, and nuts.

  4. Mix: Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough texture.

  5. Bake: Spoon the batter into a lightly oiled loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Test for doneness: To ensure the gingerbread is fully cooked, test it with a knife. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.

  7. Cool and serve: Allow the gingerbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set and makes for easier slicing.
