I’ve been waiting for this! I made these cookies last year but with flour and refined sugar, I’m amazed you can get the same chewy texture without those things!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Well if you are going to attempt a ginger molasses cookie makeover of your own this year I can tell you sweet potato in the batter is NOT the way to get the right texture😆😂 lol It took a few tries, but so so happy with how they turned out in the end!

[@celineypie]

These look SO GOOD! 😍

[@kellym8040]

YOU ARE A GOD SEND!! I literally was thinking to myself yesterday what I could do with my left over coconut sugar, tapioca starch, and applesauce from thanksgiving-then bam! This recipe looks amazing and I was obviously meant to try it. On my to-do list for tomorrow

[@senyagwynn8095]

It is 2am and I am making these cookies for myself!!!😁😁 8 more minutes......😋😋😍😍

[@MayraDairyFree]

Excellent recipe! Thanks for sharing this :)

[@chasingthelook]

You’ve done it again!

[@nurturingherroots8511]

Omg yesss please!!!! I am making these tonight, I was going to use the crust from my gingerbread pumpkin pie to make cookies but these are easier and I am down. Thank you so much!

[@FeastingonFruit]

I've seen pie crusts made of cookie so cookie made of pie crust is actually kind of clever. But I think these will be a bit fluffier and pretty delicious I must say👌😋 I hope they turn out perfect, enjoy Amanda!

[@czarinajeananonuevo9075]

looking chewy and delicious yumm 😋😍

[@audreywilkinson7033]

Just made these so delicious! Thanks (only sub was - I used a mix of cashew, Brazil nut, almond butters)

[@Simplyquinoa]

Just shared a recipe SUPER similar :) Great minds think alike!!

[@PlushCreativeDzyneLLC]

Amazing as always. I'm still waiting on that cookbook 😁 ur recipes r so unique, easy, simple, n delicious 😍. U ROCK!!!!👊

[@FeastingonFruit]

Ha well maybe make some cookies and settle in for that wait😆 But thank you for your ongoing support--i really appreciate it❤️

[@PlushCreativeDzyneLLC]

Feasting on Fruit I guess that batch will hold me off 4 a wile 😂😂😂

[@tomtomgayheart3298]

Yayyyy❣️❣️💖 a new video❤️❤️

[@FeastingonFruit]

A little late but yes🤗🤗 Had to get them as soft and fluffy as possible which too a little longer than expected, but worth it!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Full recipe + oat flour option HERE -> www.feastingonfruit.com/ginger-molasses-cookies/

[@FeastingonFruit]

Always trying to include the options when possible😊 Hope you enjoy Edith!

[@nurturingherroots8511]

I have both flours, which do you prefer/taste better?

[@FeastingonFruit]

The coconut flour version is definitely my favorite--richer and sweeter :)

[@nurturingherroots8511]

Feasting on Fruit Great! Thank you so much I will use coconut flour ☺️

[@kathyf9413]

Hi Natalie, I just finished making these (double batch) they are just as you say soft and chewy. They have just the right amount of sweetness. My ginger is a bit week in the cookie. I think I needed a new jar to give the taste a bit more kick. I did not put on the added sugar but, I still wanted some visual contrast so, I sprinkled on some coconut flour. It took about an hour for me to make.

[@FeastingonFruit]

YAY!!! Soft and sweet but not too sweet, right? I am really happy to hear that you like them too Kathy! Going straight in for the double batch too--I love it :) And that's a great idea with coconut flour on the outside, it really is mostly for appearance anyways. A fresh bottle of ginger will certainly help, or just use a bit more or even fresh if you have it. Anyways, thanks as always for testing them out and sharing your thought

[@ellanasir6067]

Love the background music what is it? Great recipe too can't wait to try it!

[@pleiadianstarseed2819]

Could I use tigernut or almond flour in place of coconut flour?

[@philia9351]

Do you think you could try your magical fruit talents on some black bean or zucchini brownies? There are many recipes out there yes, but I still have not come across one that is fruit sweetened, and you never disappoint!

[@FeastingonFruit]

I'm not a huge fan of beans in baking, but zucchini brownies I could definitely do! It may not be till after the holidays, but I'll add it to my list to work on soon😊

[@philia9351]

Feasting on Fruit I'll be patiently drooling and waiting!

[@catalinababy6068]

Wow

[@FeastingonFruit]

Happy cookie-making to you!

[@TheExbarista]

I’m so excited to try these, they look like the perfect festive follow-up to the soft-baked chocolate drizzled pumpkin cookies, which I’ve already made twice by the way! Just out of curiosity, do you think green banana flour could take the place of tapioca starch? I’ve got some in my pantry and want to try experimenting with it more. Thanks!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yes the perfect cookie compliment to those pumpkin ones--I am so happy you are enjoying them🤗 Hmm I don't think banana flour will have the binding capability that these need unfortunately. Coconut flour is SO crumbly that you really need a sticky starch to work with it, and I don't think banana flour will be enough. Sorry!

[@TheExbarista]

Feasting on Fruit ok, thank you!

[@shippermd]

I have to be coconut free and refined sugar free. Can I sub a few dates for the coconut sugar?

[@SarahSpices]

Yum! Is it possible to leave out the tapioca starch

[@FeastingonFruit]

Not for this one, coconut flour won't bind enough by itself. But there is an oat flour option that doesn't call for the starch if you prefer :)

[@SarahSpices]

Feasting on Fruit ok ty!

[@melissagreenwell9995]

Hi Natalie! I'm wondering why this recipe calls for blackstrap rather than just regular molasses. How will it affect the cookies to use regular unsulphured molasses?

[@FeastingonFruit]

I just like the more intense flavor of blackstrap, but either kind is fine!

[@dll6384]

Would replacing the coconut sugar with date sugar work for this recipe?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yes that will work fine!

[@thereselunde3146]

Is there a substitute for coconutflour and tapioca starch?

[@FeastingonFruit]

There is an oat flour option included in the recipe that doesn't use either of those :)

[@askanthonyy]

These look so great! I can’t wait to try them. I have a question though. Is tapioca starch/flour the same as cassava flour? The latter is extremely expensive and I can’t tell if it’s just a marketing ploy or a different product! Thank you! Love your channel as always

[@FeastingonFruit]

They are actually different. From the same plant, but different in how they are processed and work differently in recipes. Cassave flour is the entire yuca root dried and ground while tapioca starch is just the starchy part extracted and then dried. So cassava is kind of like the whole food version of tapioca, but much easier to find and binds more. But if you ever taste them or try cassava flour you will realize they do actually tast quite different, so it's not all marketing :) This explains it better than I did: draxe.com/cassava-flour/

[@fredacharbel7510]

@feasting on fruit can I use any other sweetener instead of the coconut sugar? Thanks 😊

[@FeastingonFruit]

Sure, another granulated sweetener will work instead!

[@fredacharbel7510]

Feasting on Fruit thanks 🙏

[@starstreet46]

Could i use plain four instead of coconut flour?

[@FeastingonFruit]

If you want to use all purpose flour I'd recommend following the direction for the oat flour option :)

[@hadealsamy]

can I substitute the coconut sugar with dates?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Not for this one, but maybe try these instead: www.feastingonfruit.com/vegan-gluten-free-gingerbread-men/

[@kirali5823]

damn, I have to say that it's either me stalking you, once again :D ...ooor you stalking me ;) this time it's the molasses I was just thinking about a couple of days ago to get..... ;) and I love how the inside of these cookies look..!! haha, not to mention the way they look on that plate :D ♥

[@FeastingonFruit]

Hahaha!! Perhaps we can blame the time of year for this molasses mind coincidence😄 I just bought my first bottle in months and now I'm wondering why I haven't been using it all year the flavor is so deep and delish. Oh yes, the inside is soft and fluffy and my favorite part😋 Happy sunday lovely!

[@kirali5823]

♥

[@kasiaolasurmacz1863]

How can I substitute molasses ?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Maple syrup would work! Less of a deep rich flavor, but still yummy :)

[@kasiaolasurmacz1863]

Thank You :)

[@starstreet46]

Would agave work too?

[@pleiadianstarseed2819]

The video says baking powder and the recipe written says baking soda which one is it please?

[@FeastingonFruit]

The written recipe is correct, but honestly either will be fine!

[@pleiadianstarseed2819]

@@FeastingonFruit thank you! :)

[@naomi3kids1]

Dumb question, can you your tapioca flour instead of starch?

[@naomi3kids1]

Never mind, I saw your oat replacement. :) They look yummy!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yep, they are the same so completely interchangeable :)

[@theresac5817]

Simply quinoa just copied you so bad... almost exact same recipe and it made me really annoyed lol

[@sargondp69]

Hers is a bit different and a little simpler. I like Simply Quinoa's better for the most part.
