Yummmy!! Would you mind posting the recipe for the gingerbread men?

Sure! I used the recipe from Open Original Shared Link. I copied and pasted it below, but I'll write what I changed in brackets:

1/2 cup shortening (I used Soy Garden or Earth Balance (I have both, so I am not sure which one)

1/2 cup sugar (I used a scant 1/8 cup of Sucanat)

1/2 cup molasses

1 egg

1 Tbsp vinegar

3 cups Bean Flour Blend (I used a cup of fava, a cup of tapioca and a cup of cornstarch)

1 1/2 tsp xanthan

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground ginger (I probably doubled or tripled this)

1/2 tsp cinnamon (doubled or tripled)

1/2 tsp cloves (doubled or tripled)

Cream sugar and shortening together in mixer till light and fluffy. Mix in molasses, egg, and vinegar until combined.

In a medium bowl, combine Bean Flour Blend, xanthan, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix in with wet ingredients.

Cover and chill dough about 3 hours or until easy to handle.

Grease cookie sheet; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll half the dough to 1/8" thickness. Cut in to shapes and place on cookie sheet.

Bake at 375F for 5 to 6 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pan.
