And now you can make a delicious egg-free gingerbread house kit with ease and without sacrificing the fun.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup vegan butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing or royal icing mix
Candy and other decorations

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and brown sugar. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted vegan butter or margarine, molasses, warm water, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until a dough forms.

Step 2: Refrigerate the Dough

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. This will make the dough easier to roll out.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough and Cut the Pieces

Lightly dust a flat surface with flour and roll out the dough until it is 1/4-inch thick. Cut out the pieces for the house using a gingerbread house template or a sharp knife. Cut four pieces for the walls, two pieces for the roof, and any other pieces you'd like. Carefully transfer the pieces to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake the Pieces

Bake the gingerbread pieces at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. Allow the pieces to cool completely before assembling the house.

Step 5: Assemble the House

Using a pastry bag or a spoon, spread the icing along the edges of the walls and roof pieces. Carefully place the walls onto the base and press to secure. Use more icing to secure the roof pieces. Allow the house to dry for at least an hour before decorating.

Step 6: Decorate the House

Decorate the house with candy and other decorations. Use your imagination and get creative. You can make a little village with multiple houses, or just one big house. When you're done, you can enjoy the house with your family or you can wrap it up and give it away as a gift.
