Healthy Gingerbread Latte
A healthy gingerbread latte made with real spices, molasses, and maple syrup rather than artificial flavoring and simple syrups. You really can’t get better than that for a fancy, flavorful, coffee-shop style latte! Blackstrap molasses and maple syrup are both natural sweeteners that make this coffee much healthier compared to refined sugars.

Ingredients
1/2 tsp blackstrap molasses
2-4 tsp pure maple syrup, to taste
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Double shot espresso - I use Seven Weeks Coffee for mold-free, pesticide free, and mycotoxin-free.
6-8 oz whole grass-fed milk (I did 7 oz)
Homemade Whipped Cream:
2 Tbsp grass-fed heavy cream (or for a lighter version: 1 Tbsp heavy cream, 1 Tbsp milk)
1/4 tsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Put the molasses, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and pinch of salt into a mug and stir together with a spoon to combine.
- Brew a double shot of espresso and pour into the mug. Mix to combine.
- Steam the milk and pour into the mug.
- For homemade whipped cream: Put the cream and maple syrup into a very small, narrow mug (like an espresso mug) and froth with a milk frother for about 15 seconds until creamy. Pour on top of the latte and sprinkle with some ground cinnamon. Enjoy!
