A few final remarks:

• for all baked goods to which powder is added for baking, replace it with baking soda. The powder itself contains in its composed of flour, therefore it is not gluten-free. Remember that 1 teaspoon of powder for baking corresponds to 0,5 teaspoon of baking soda.
• we should also pay attention to all ready-made spice mixes (e.g. gingerbread spice). They often contain flour, so it is worth preparing such a mixture yourself. An example recipe can be found in the article “How to make gingerbread cookies to be healthy and tasty?” Ola, 22 years old “.
