Vegan Gingerbread Desserts to Make For the Holidays

Gingerbread, gingerbread, gingerbread rock! Okay, maybe those aren’t exactly the lyrics, but the holidays are finally upon us, and it’s got us in the mood to make some festive treats. One of our favorites is, of course, gingerbread, and it seems there are plenty of vegan food bloggers who share our sentiment. Read on for some plant-based gingerbread desserts we’ll be whipping up this year. 

Vegan Gingerbread Cupcakes

No celebration would be complete without cake, and this cupcake recipe by The Banana Diaries is sure to be a hit at any holiday party. With a velvety gingerbread base and a tangy plant-based cream cheese frosting, it’s the perfect balance of sugar, spice, and everything nice. 

Vegan Gingerbread Cookies

Santa and his reindeer are guaranteed to enjoy these cookies by Sweet Simple Vegan. Brown sugar, molasses, and warm spices come together to create that gingerbread flavor we know and love–100% dairy-free. We recommend enjoying them fresh out of the oven with a glass of oat milk. 

Vegan Gingerbread Chocolate Tart

Dessert worlds collide in this scrumptiously festive recipe by Addicted to Dates. A buttery gingerbread crust makes the perfect base for a lightly spiced chocolate ganache filling, while more cookies on top provide a nice crunch. Give it some color with fresh pomegranate seeds and a few rosemary sprigs.
