Gut Friendly Protein Ginger Bread Biscuits

My dad always ate crystallized ginger, and ginger biscuits were always one of my favorites, that along with Christmas pudding. Some of the spices
used for both of these recipes are powerful polyphenols and have digestive properties, an alternative to this recipe is to also add dried ginger bits.

Servings:  12 biscuits

Ingredients: 

• 1 egg plus 1 extra egg-yolk
• 2/3 cup smooth almond butter
• 2 tbsp organic coconut oil
• 1/3 cup blackstrap molasses
• 1/4 cup organic coconut sugar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup organic coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• pinch sea salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp allspice

3. coconut oil until smooth. Add the molasses, coconut sugar, and vanilla and continue to mix until
4. smooth.
