Notes

  • Banana ripeness: Use ripe bananas for added sweetness and the creamiest texture. You want the peel to have a few brown spots.
  • Dairy-free: For a dairy-free version, make this recipe with almond milk, oat milk, or another non-dairy option.
  • Sweeteners: Choose your sweetener based on preference. Monk fruit, pureed dates, and maple syrup are all great alternatives to refined sugar.
  • Toppings: Add whipped cream or cold foam on top for an elevated presentation and extra creaminess. Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or flake salt for extra flavor.
  • Coffee options: For a stronger coffee flavor, use cold brew instead of regular brewed coffee or espresso. To make a caffeine-free version, simply use decaffeinated coffee or espresso.
  • Serve warm: To serve hot, warm the banana milk gently on the stove or in the microwave, then pour over hot coffee or espresso.
