Vegan Gluten Free Gingerbread Men
Gingerbread men cookies are one of my favourite festive treats. The first time I ever had a gingerbread cookie was one that I had bought from a Christmas market. It was massive, heart shaped and was decorated with sugar icing. Looked delicious but when I came to eat it, I was disappointed! It was soft and didn’t have much taste. That didn’t deter me from wanting to try it again. The next time I tired one, it was crunchy and full of flavour! Since then I’ve preferred crunchy gingerbread cookies over soft.
When it comes to making healthy cookies, achieving a crunchy texture is not the easiest thing to do. Most of my healthier cookies tend to be soft or chewy, but if I were to make any cookie recipe crunchy, it had to be this one!
Instead of decorating with sugary icing, I decided to use melted sugar free chocolate to create the smily faces. Because let’s be honest, everything tastes better covered in chocolate!
These vegan gluten free gingerbread men are dairy free, sugar free and easy to make. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee on and around Christmas day. They also make an excellent and cute edible gift.

These are the cutest little men!!!! <3
And yes, everything is better coated in chocolate 😉
Thank you Rebecca 😀 I knew you would agree with me 😉
That’s the first time I’ve seen a gluten-free gingerbread man 🙂 Looks so cute and tasty!
Thank you Melanie 😀 They may be gluten free but they’re still yummy and delicious 😉
I’ve actually always been a soft, cookie gal. But I LOVE crumbly cookies! Anyways, I’ve been looking for a really good gingerbread recipe. This is definitely a keeper!
I do like soft cookies too, but I think for me the crunch adds an extra something. I’m a massive cookie lover so I’m easily pleased 😛
These are so cute! I’ve got a few Vegan friends so I will definitely be making these for them this Christmas
How beautiful and festive! I have never tried the date syrup…now I am really intrigued.
Happy Holidays, Nadia.
They are so cute! My kids saw them and fell in love too <3 We will definitely be trying these soon.
