A festive twist on the quick almond biscuits, these spiced ginger biscuits offer a little extra bite and warmth, perfect for the colder months. Well, actually they are pretty good all year round!

With just a few ingredients, in under 30 minutes, you can have a delicious zero carb count, gluten and refined sugar-free, subtly spiced ginger biscuit. They have an added zesty orange hit which is a great pairing with the spices to make an ideal snack.

They have a slight crunch on the outside and are wonderfully soft and fluffy on the inside. In fact the following day they take on a slightly more cakey texture which I love.
Note on sweeteners
In this recipe, I use a brown sugar replacement which is mostly erythritol based. Both are a 1:1 substitute for sugar and work brilliantly in cakes and desserts
My current favourites are NKD Living Natural Erythritol Gold or Sukrin Gold (affiliate links)
If you prefer to use different sweeteners like sucralose or stevia, remember to convert your quantity. Most brands have this information on their websites.
For the icing, I used powdered erythritol, a refined sugar-free version of icing sugar. My favourite is by NKD Living Natural Erythritol (affiliate link)
It isn’t quite as pliable as icing sugar as it seems to set very quickly but with a little practice and the use of a little cup of hot water to dip my pallet knife into I was able to get a smoother finish
Erythritol has a slightly cooler taste to it which can take a little getting used to but actually we quite like this against the warmth of the ginger.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different sweeteners and the quantities in sweet recipes. It may take a few attempts to find your preference as we all have a different palate.
