How to make a Gingerbread Latte

  1. Make espresso. As you normally would, or make strong coffee if you do not have a way to make espresso.
  2. Make gingerbread creamer. Add oat milk creamer, spices, molasses, and honey to an electric milk frother and froth. If you do not have an electric frother, add to a glass jar and heat for 30 seconds in the microwave. Then frother either by covering and shaking vigorously or with a hand held frother.
  3. Combine brewed espresso and frothed milk mixture.
  4. Enjoy!

Quick Facts

Does this meet my dietary needs?

This recipe is vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free.

Can I pack this for lunch?

Yup! Just keep in a thermos like this one!

Can I use regular coffee?

Yup! We recommend using an espresso roast or dark roast coffee that can stand up to the larger milk quantity that is typical of a latte.

Can this be made as an iced latte?

Sure can! Just don’t heat the milk and pour everything over lots of ice!

Substitute Options

*All substitution options are a 1:1 substitution unless otherwise noted

Espresso: Any dark roast coffee or espresso can be used, even decaf!

Oat Milk Creamer: Any unsweetened creamer you like can be used, including whole milk or half and half.

Molasses:  Date syrup can be used.

Honey: Maple syrup, agave, coconut sugar or brown sugar can be used in place of maple syrup.

Spices:  Pumpkin pie spice can be used for the cinnamon and nutmeg. Minced ginger can be used in place of ground ginger.

Pairings: What does this yummy gingerbread latte recipe pair well with you ask? Well of course gingerbread cookies, gingerbread pancakes, and gingerbread donuts are delicious to dip in this drink to get some extra gingerbread flavor.

Fun Fact! 

Gingerbread originated in Germany and Gingerbread men were created for women to find their dream man. It was said that if they could get a man to eat the gingerbread man, he would fall madly in love! According Swedish folklore, you can make any wishes with gingerbread men. You simply hold the cookie in your hand, make a wish, then crush the gingerbread man with your hand. If the cookie breaks into 3 pieces, your wish will come true!
