Brace your elves, we have another Christmas themed recipe for you to try at home! Like our Reindeer Cupcakes, it’s a quick and easy recipe, and protein-packed for added goodness.
This gingerbread man (as you may have noticed!) also happens to be one of the most adorable characters from a beloved kids movie…so get baking!
Ingredients
Makes: 8-10 cookies
300g instant porridge oats
125g coconut protein powder (I used the Whey Hey Coconut from Bio-Synergy)
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
3 large eggs
50g brown sugar
40g butter
2 American hard gums per cookie
Blue, White and pink icing
1 candy cane for decoration
Step by step
Prep: 10min › Cook: 6-8min
Preheat oven to 190 C / Gas 5
- Grind oats in a food processor until you get the consistency of flour (this is just optional!)
- Combine the oat flour with Bio-Synergy coconut protein powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt, and set aside
- Warm the butter in the oven or using a sauce pan until almost liquid
- Whisk together the sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla. Add to the oat flour and protein powder, and mix well
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. Drop the cookie dough onto the tray in 8-10 even portions
- Form gingerbread man shapes with your fingers, or use a mould if you have. (I did mine without a mould, just looked up a ‘Gingey’ picture on the internet to use a model)
- Bake in oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Don't overbake! Leave for 5 minutes to cool on the tray
- Add the icing, and the American hard gums as decoration, using a picture as model
Bon appétit!
