vegan & sugar-free gingerbread

You need:
- 200g grated almonds
- 200g grated hazelnuts
- 2 tbsp gingerbread spice
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 4 tbsp applesauce
- 150g dried apricots (apricots)
- juice of one ½ orange
- orange zest
- 120g dates
- 150ml hot water
- 1 slice of lemon
- baking wafers (approx. 70mm - for large gingerbread)
- chocolate for the icing

This is how it works:
- Start by soaking the dates in hot water, add 1 slice of lemon and a pinch of salt
- After approx. 15 minutes, blend (including the lemon slice - without the seeds)
- Finely chop the apricots (by hand or in a blender)
- Then mix everything into a fine dough
- Spread the dough onto wafers and shape nicely
- Bake for 15 minutes at 170°C
- Leave to cool and garnish with melted chocolate

Have fun trying them out and have a wonderful Advent season!
