Description

Cozy up with this creamy banana bread latte made with real banana, cinnamon, and espresso. A warm, comforting drink that tastes like banana bread in a mug, easy to make in under 10 minutes!


Ingredients

🍌 ½ ripe banana (mashed or blended)

1 shot espresso or ¼ cup strong brewed coffee

🥛 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

🍁 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or brown sugar (optional)

🌼 ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

🌰 ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)


Instructions

☕Brew Coffee: Brew espresso or strong coffee and set aside.

🍌Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine mashed banana, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and sweetener.

🔥Heat Gently: Heat gently over medium heat until warm and steamy, stirring often (do not boil).

🌀Froth: Froth the mixture using a frother or whisk for extra foam.

🥄Assemble Drink: Pour espresso into a mug and top with the warm banana milk mixture.

✨Finish & Serve: Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg and serve immediately.

Notes

📌For an iced version, blend the banana with cold milk and espresso, then pour over ice.

📌Use oat milk or almond milk for a creamy, dairy-free option.

📌Freeze blended banana and milk in cubes for a quick latte base later.

📌Add hazelnut or walnut syrup for a nuttier flavor twist.

📌Best enjoyed fresh—avoid storing longer than 1–2 days due to banana oxidation.
