Notes

Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for best sweetness and flavor.
You can substitute maple syrup with honey or a low-glycemic sweetener like stevia.
For a mocha twist, add 1 teaspoon cocoa powder to the blend.
Make a double batch of banana milk and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Oat milk creates a creamy texture and froths beautifully.
