It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! This is why I’ve made these super tasty slimming world gingerbread men! I’ve made loads of Christmas slimming world recipes now but I have to say this is one of my favourite bite-sized Christmas slimming world snacks by far!
If you’re looking for a low syn Christman recipe, you’ve come to the right place! I will also say it highly depends on what you decorate them with. I’ve seen people decorate their gingerbread men with icing full of syns and then complain that it’s high syn!
If you love Christmas as much as I do, you’ll love these gingerbread men! Give them a try and let me know what you think!
Slimming World Gingerbread Men
Now as I said before, you can decorate these with whatever you like or just not decorate them at all; both are valid options. What I will say is make sure you syn anything that you use. One example would be there are loads of different sweets that you can use for the buttons, these will vary when it comes to syns!
This recipe is super easy to make and tastes great. However, I know that baking is a little time consuming so you could always cheat and use a pre-made mixture. Although, they will also have varied syn counts so check them out before making them. You’ll know what you’re spending if you use the recipe below.
