Gingerbread I

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Combine rice flour, ginger, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and xanthan gum in a large mixing bowl.

Whisk molasses, unsweetened applesauce, honey, water, and egg together in another bowl until well blended.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Transfer the batter to a lightly greased 8-inch square baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
