5-Minute Gingerbread Latte
A rich and cozy gingerbread latte sweetened with mineral-rich molasses and pure maple syrup—creamy, dairy-free, and perfectly spiced.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened oat milk or other creamy milk
- 1 tbsp molasses cooking or fancy
- ½ tbsp maple syrup grade A or B
- ¼ tsp ginger powder
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
- 2 drops vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Warm oat milk over medium heat until steaming.
- Add molasses, maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt to the oat milk.Whisk until everything is smooth and the spices are fragrant.
- Taste and adjust flavouring.
- Pour into a mug and enjoy with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a small dollop of frothed milk.
Notes
- Flavour boost: Add a pinch of extra cinnamon, ground clove, or nutmeg for a more intense gingerbread profile.
- Blended version: For a frothy café-style latte, blend all ingredients for 20–30 seconds before warming, or use a frother.
- Sweeteners: Molasses gives the classic gingerbread depth while maple syrup adds smooth sweetness. Adjust both to taste.
- Lighter version: Reduce maple syrup to ½ tbsp and molasses to ½–1 tsp to bring the latte under 200 calories without losing flavour.
- Milk choice: Oat milk creates the creamiest texture, but almond, cashew, or soy milk can be used as substitutes.
