Gingerbread

Dark, aromatic, buttery-rich, gingerbread that's spongy and bouncy like real gingerbread should be but without the sugar and flour. Make it lectin free!

Lectin Free Gourmet Warm Gingerbread with Fresh Whipped Cream

Make this easy lectin free version of classic. Get the comforting taste of warm gingerbread without sugar or gluten. This gingerbread is slightly sweet, very gingery and it's made in a mug in just 90 seconds.

We use reishi mushroom powder and organic instant coffee to achieve that rich dark molasses flavor and color. Plus these ingredients unique to my gingerbread have added health benefits.

Instant coffee is concentrated dry coffee extract. Baking with instant coffee is a great way to sneak in polyphenols.

So coffee adds those super powerful antioxidants known as polyphenols. What do mushrooms do? Reishi mushrooms help enhance the immune system, reduce stress, improve sleep, and reduce fatigue. People also use reishi mushrooms to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.

Not only is this gingerbread extra healthy, it's springy and moist and reminds me of the classic gingerbread my German mom made me as a kid. For me, this gingerbread is a warm slice of home.

I like mine served still steaming and topped with organic fresh whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. Let's make this easy gingerbread.
