Ingredients

Creating a delicious nut free gingerbread house kit is easier than you might think. You will need:

  • 3 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons of ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup of molasses
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • Decorations of your choice for the house, such as sugar, icing, candy, and sprinkles

Instructions

Once you have all the ingredients, you can begin the process of making a nut free gingerbread house kit. Here are the steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, oil, molasses, and water until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until all the ingredients are combined. The dough should be thick, but not too sticky.
  5. Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut out the pieces for the house, such as walls, roof, and windows. You may use a template or create your own shapes.
  6. Once the pieces are cut out, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake the pieces in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let cool.
  8. Once the pieces are cooled, you can assemble your house. Use royal icing to adhere the pieces together. If you like, you can also use icing to decorate the house.
  9. Finally, add decorations of your choice, such as sugar, icing, candy, and sprinkles. Let the icing dry before you display the house.
