Vegan gingerbread

Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Sift flour, ginger, cinnamon and soda into a mixing bowl.

Melt sunflower spread, treacle, syrup and sugar in a pan over a low heat, stirring all the time.

Allow the contents of the pan to cool a little, then pour into the flour mixture and stir well to combine.

Stir in the apple puree, then beat well until thoroughly mixed. The mixture will be fairly runny. Pour mixture into a greased and floured loaf tin.

Bake for about 45 minutes. The gingerbread is cooked when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
