A delightful blend of rich coffee and the natural sweetness of ripe bananas, this unique beverage satisfies caffeine cravings while adding a fruity flair.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup brewed coffee, preferably strong or espresso
1 ripe banana, mashed
½ cup whole milk (or any milk alternative like almond or oat milk)
1-2 tablespoons sugar, adjust to taste (brown sugar adds a nice depth)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for additional flavor)
¼ teaspoon cinnamon (for a warm, spicy note)
Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Brew your coffee. Ensure it’s strong enough to complement the sweetness of the banana.
In a small bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
In a blender, combine the brewed coffee, mashed banana, milk, sugar, vanilla extract (if using), and cinnamon. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until creamy.
Taste your creamy banana coffee and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
Pour the coffee into a large mug or glass. Top with whipped cream if desired, and sprinkle chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the delightful fusion of flavors and textures!
