Wheat-free Gingerbread
The sweet, spicy smell of gingerbread brings to mind warm moments by the fire with a steaming cup of tea. Choose a Traditional Medicinals tea that's carefully formulated to keep your digestive system happy from the holiday eating festivities. Make your gingerbread with as many organic ingredients as possible, and enjoy the guiltlessness of unrefined sweeteners and spelt flour (an ancient relative of wheat but much easier to digest).
Tip: For a stronger bite, kick it up a notch with a shot of fresh ginger root, which is more powerful than the dried spice.
Warning: Not for the faint of heart!


½ cup cold-pressed oil (canola, walnut or other)
½ cup unrefined dried sugarcane crystals
1 egg
1 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger
1 cup blackstrap molasses
1 cup hot water
2 ½ cups whole spelt flour
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. sea salt
1 ½ tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. dried ginger
1 tsp. cloves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
With a mixer, beat the oil, sugarcane crystals and egg until creamy smooth. Add the fresh ginger and blackstrap molasses, and mix in well. With the mixer running on low, mix in the hot water. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, dried ginger and cloves. Fold into wet ingredients until mixed in evenly. Pour batter into a parchment-lined loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the top bounces back when lightly touched.
