Skinny Gingerbread Bars

Since I made my Skinny Pumpkin Bars in the fall I wanted to try making a Christmas version as well, and since one of my favourite christmas flavours is gingerbread I thought a Skinny Gingerbread Bar was the perfect idea.  I wasn't sure how they would turn out but I thought I would give it a try and they were great! One of my favourite creations to date. They are clean, gluten free and so moist, my family loved them and they will be a treat I will be making again this holiday season. 

Ingredients: 

2 eggs

1 1/4 cups gluten free cake flour

1 cup almond flour 

1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce

1 cup boiling water

1/2 cup molasses

2 tbsp. coconut sugar

2 tbsp. honey

1/4 cup water

2.5 tsp. baking powder

1.5 tsp. cinnamon

3 tsp. ginger

1/2-1 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. clove

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 tbsp. almond flour

3/4 cups vanilla greek yogurt

1/4  of a 250g container of light cream cheese
