Gingerbread Squares | Dessert Recipe | The Ultimate Chef

YIELD: 8 SERVINGS

Sweetened with banana, blackstrap molasses, and agave, this healthy gingerbread tastes just as rich and spicy as the traditional version.

Directions

In a large bowl, stir together the banana, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and agave until smooth.

Fold in the chia seed, almond meal, and teff flour.

Lightly grease a 4 × 8-inch loaf pan and spread the mixture into the pan.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Let cool completely and then slice into squares.

Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
