17 g winestone
2 tsp baking soda
4 tbsp oatmeal
7 tbsp apple vinegar







for the baking tray
butter or margarine
flour
sliced almonds

to make a vegan version skip butter and honey and use margarine and maple syrup

how you do it

Preheat oven to  356°F
Grease your baking tray and sprinkle with a bit of flour and sliced almonds, so the ginger bread won't stick onto the baking tray.

Put sugar beet syrup, sugar, butter/margarine and coffee in a pan and let it melt together, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes). Mix flour, ground hazelnuts, winestone, baking soda and oatmeal. Now add gingerbread seasoning, ground ginger and cinnamon, black pepper and mashed banana to the sugar beet mixture. Stir in the apple vinegar and mix it into the flour. Stir very well and put into you baking tray.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Put out of the oven, let rest for 5 minutes and cut into little rectangles or squares.
