Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, slightly cooled
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. In a blender, combine the warm milk, mashed banana, brewed coffee, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 20–30 seconds.
  3. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat gently for 1–2 more minutes, stirring constantly. Do not boil.
  4. Pour into a mug. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t over-blend or your latte will turn foamy. Use very ripe bananas for smooth sweetness, and don’t skip the pinch of salt—it balances the flavors. Try topping with almond butter drizzle or pairing with banana bread for ultimate comfort.
