Healthy Gingerbread Loaf
This is a recipe I make myself every week. I make it on the weekends, so that I have a nice slice in the morning all week. You do need a few ingredients, but the recipe is so simple. Especially if you have a blender, you can finish making your batter within 10 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven and put it in.
You can put nuts on top of ”Gezonde Ontbijtkoek” (Dutch for Healthy Gingerbread Loaf). I like nuts very much so the top is full of nuts. You can choose whether you do a lot or little. After baking for 45 minutes, poke to see if the insides are already cooked. Because you use apple syrup, it is possible that something remains on the stick / fork. I personally don’t mind, since i like that moist texture more instead of dry. You can of course make the choice yourself.
