    When I hear gingerbread, I immediately think of the holidays. Gingerbread cookies are one of my favorite holiday cookies.

    I love the taste of ginger, cinnamon, and molasses together. Today I've made for you a Gingerbread Coffee Creamer to keep you warm through the winter. This is gingerbread in a glass.

    Impress your friends and family with this homemade coffee creamer. Don't be surprised if they request this at brunch year after year.

    You'll probably want to double or even quadruple this recipe if you're serving a crowd. I used about a third of this recipe in one cup of coffee.

    Other creamers to try are my Healthy Homemade Caramel Coffee Creamer recipe, Vegan Chocolate Mint Coffee Creamer recipe, and Vegan Vanilla Creamer recipe.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is sweet, rich, and creamy.
    • It's made in minutes.
    • It's a healthy addition to a cup of coffee.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Coconut milk: I used full-fat coconut milk. You could also use light coconut milk.
    • Almond milk: I used unsweetened almond milk to control the amount of sweetener. You could use your favorite dairy-free milk.
    • Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice: Add the warming spices that gingerbread has.
    • Blackstrap molasses: Adds a deep rich flavor that gingerbread is known for.
    • Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup, date paste, or brown sugar.
    • Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.

    To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    Step 2: Bring to a boil. Simmer until well combined.

    🥡 Storage

    This vegan coffee creamer will last about 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. If you don't think you can use it up that quickly, I'd cut the recipe in half.

    I'm already a fan of Vegan Hot Cocoa with Molasses, so this Gingerbread Coffee Creamer takes that to the next level. Blackstrap molasses is something I always have in stock.

    I love to add it to my morning smoothie.

      can you use oat milk instead of coconut milk?

        Most definitely! I haven't had oat milk in many years, but if memory serves me I don't think it's as thick as coconut milk, so keep that in mind. You'll have a slightly thinner creamer.

        Thank you so much for adding about a sub for coconut milk. My daughter is highly allergic to coconut in any form and I have to watch out for anything with coconut or coconut milk. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow. I love gingerbread anything and I have missed the gingerbread creamer I used to get. Thank you again for the recipe and the substitution Annie Martin

      Way too much cinnamon. Can't taste the ginger at all.
