Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup molasses
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment, leaving overhang on two sides.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the coconut oil and brown sugar together until smooth. Whisk in the molasses, applesauce, and vanilla.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
  5. Spread the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 25–28 minutes, until the edges pull slightly from the pan and the center is set but still soft.
  7. Cool completely in the pan, about 30 minutes, before lifting out and slicing into 16 squares.
