AMAZING!!! I made white flour gingerbread cookies last week with butter & brown sugar, and they were divine. I was addicted and wanted to find a “healthier” version. I expected to be somewhat disappointed considering the other had white flour, butter, etc., but the loaf turned out spectacular!!! It has the same sweet gingerbread flavor as the cookies!! I made it with the same spice ratio–2 tsp ginger, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg. I even used freshly ground spelt flour, and it is so delicious–and I haven’t even tried the topping on it yet! Plus, with the loaf, I feel satisfied sooner, which I’m sure is due to the higher nutrition content–with the cookies, I couldn’t stop eating them!

I can’t thank you enough, and I look forward to more of your recipes!

I would LOVE to have your gingerbread cookie recipe as well! I hope you and your loved ones had a Merry Christmas, Olena, and have a Happy New Year! 🙂

Hi Olena.

This new gingerbread loaf looks delicious¡ But I was wondering were did the other recipe for gingerbread go? I always bake that one during the holidays. Live how spicy it is, and not too sweet. Could you pls post a link to the old recipe?
Thanks¡

My loaf turned out delicious! I used freshly ground spelt flour, and grated some orange zest into the batter. Yum! So warm and delicious and pretty much guilt free! Thanks for another great recipe

Great recipe for school lunches. The honey on top added a nice sweetness. I just used sweetened apple sauce because that’s all I could find.
