vegan “Magenbrot”
Unfortunately, “Magenbrot” is not usually vegan. Although it would be really simple to veganize. I had already tried to make “Magenbrot” myself years ago, when I was not yet vegan, but it didn’t work. I got the base for this recipe from vegallen, a recipe that works. This year, however, I have made it not only gluten-free but sugar-reduced as well. Furthermore, I have made some other changes. Have fun trying it out! Magenbrot is a small, sweet glazedbiscuit that shares many similarities with a gingerbread cookie. The name of the dish directly translates to “stomach-bread” as it is believed to help improve digestion. Wikipedia
