Healthier Christmas Gingerbread! Can it be? Well, yes if you count swapping wholemeal flour for white, less golden syrup and the inclusion of nutrient-rich black-strap molasses, containing iron, folate, magnesium and calcium. This recipe features some of our favourite British organic brands - Steenbergs (for organic ginger and cinnamon), Doves Farm (for flour and bicarb) , Meridian Foods (for Black Strap Molasses), and Rachel’s Organic (for fabulous butter).

3. Pour sugar/butter mix into a separate large mixing bowl, add egg and mix. Slowly add flour/spices spoonful by spoonful, mixing as you go until all the flour is incorporated. The dough may be a little sticky, but it should come away clean from the edge of the bowl, and will firm up when chilled. If it feels very wet, and isn't coming away from the sides of the bowl, add another tablespoon or so of flour.
