It’s gingerbread season and I am pumped!! I love gingerbread so so much – the spices the molasses, it’s all just wonderful. This loaf is awesome because the only sugar in the cake part is from molasses. I like to use blackstrap molasses which is an unrefined molasses that touts some awesome nutrients. After a google search I even found that some people take a tablespoon of molasses as a daily vitamin! It contains iron, calcium, magnesium, vitamin B6 and selenium – all super awesome and needed nutrients your body needs. Compare that to refined white sugar in most baked goods that has zero nutritional content and it makes you feel really good about this gingerbread loaf! Now of course I had to top this loaf with some delicious frosting so I went with a clean brand you can find at a lot of grocery stores now called Miss Jone’s. You can also find and use Simple Mills frosting, they are both similar in that they are dairy free, use high quality ingredients like organic powdered sugar and less refined oils, and still taste amazing. You can also make this loaf without any frosting and it could be more of a breakfast loaf as it isn’t super sweet alone! Make this loaf for yourself or make it to give to a friend that needs a little holiday cheer!
It slices so well!

Can I sweeten the loaf, itself, in lieu of the frosting? If so, how much coconut sugar should I had to the batter? And should I mix it with the wet ingredients before adding to the dry? Thank you
in advance!

Yes, always mix the wet ingredients together and then add they dry. I would start with a few more Tbsp and then test after you mix. Good Luck
Delicious!
