³/₄ cup unsweetened applesauce, ¹/₂ cup molasses, ¹/₄ cup fat-free egg substitute, 3 tablespoons canola oil, 1¹/₂ cups unbleached all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¹/₈ teaspoon salt, ¹/₃ cup finely diced candied ginger.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, molasses, egg substitute, and oil. Stir to mix well.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix. Add to the applesauce mixture and stir until just mixed.

Mix in all but 1 tablespoon of the candied ginger.

Pour into an 8'' x 8'' no sticking baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares. Sprinkle each piece with the remaining candied ginger just before serving.

Note : A dollop of nonfat sour cream makes a delicious garnish for the gingerbread.
