Creamy Warming Vegan Gingerbread Latte. 5 Ingredients! This vegan version of the Starbucks gingerbread latte has fresh ginger, homemade gingerbread spice and amazing flavor. Can be made caffeine-free. Vegan Glutenfree Recipe Jump to Recipe
These cold months, all those cheery songs, a fireplace, and all it needs is a big mug of gingerbread latte!
This latte is super quick to put together and needs just 5 Ingredients! Simmer some coffee with fresh ginger, dark brown sugar or molasses + sweetener of choice, gingerbread spice (that I make from scratch). Once the flavors have melded, add frothed nondairy milk and heat up. Strain and done!
Omit the coffee for a caffeine free latte. Just some warming fresh ginger, gingerbread spice, and molasses!

As with all spiced drinks, the spices can sometimes settle and the bottom or feel gritty in a drink. This happens because the spices are not ground finely enough by most ground spice brands, especially spices like cinnamon. Strain to remove the larger spice granule grittyness.
Vegan Gingerbread Latte
Ingredients
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup espresso coffee or prepared coffee, or use 1/3 cup water/decaf for caffeine free
- 1/2 tsp minced ginger
- 1/2 tsp gingerbread spice, less or more to preference, or use 1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and pinches of nutmeg and clove/allspice
- 1 tbsp dark brown sugar, or use plain sugar/maple syrup and 2 tsp molasses
- 1.5 cups non dairy milk, , I like almond, soy or coconut milk
Instructions
- Add the first 4 ingredients to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and simmer for 2 mins. (This is the simple ginger syrup. Strain and refrigerate to use later)
- Add blended or frothed non dairy milk to the saucepan and mix in. (Blend the milk in a blender for a minute to froth). Bring to just about a boil. Taste and adjust flavor(add more spice or sugar if needed)
- Pour into cups (strain if you havent at step 1). Add whipped coconut cream if desired and a sprinkle of gingerbread spice.

I used this recipe to make a delicious caffeine free chai latte, as I didn’t have ground ginger or molasses but had chai masala. Loved this as my previous efforts to make caffeine free chai hadn’t turned out so well. This was so comforting as I’m sick. Thanks Richa! I will have to try the original gingerbread version too.
feel better soon
I absolutely love this latte. I’ve made it countless times already. Easy to make plus scrumptious. I don’t even care if it’s seasonal, I don’t mind having this year round. Thank you for another amazing recipe.
