Step 1:
Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Line 2 trays with baking paper.
Step 2:
Place the oats in a food processor and blitz for around one minute or until the oats become a fine flour. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and pulse to combine.
Step 3:
In a bowl, add the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together until you have a dough. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 4:
On a dry, flat surface sprinkle a little flour and roll the dough out, flouring the rolling pin if needed. Use cookie cutters to make your gingerbread shapes and place onto the lined baking trays. Gather the remaining dough and roll out again, continuing the same process until all the dough has been used.
Step 5:
Bake for 12 minutes or until the gingerbread is just golden. Place on a rack to cool and enjoy as is or decorate with icing.
Step 6:
To make the icing, mix the ingredients together in a small bowl. Place into a zip lock bag, close it up and snip a tiny hole in one of the corners. Pipe the icing onto the gingerbread.
