This banana bread latte blends ripe banana, coffee, milk, and warm spices into a smooth homemade drink that tastes like banana bread in a cup. You can make it hot or iced in about 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, such as oat, almond, or soy)
  • 12 espresso shots or ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, banana chips, or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Add the banana, milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a blender.
  2. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. For a hot latte, pour the mixture into a small saucepan and warm it gently over medium-low heat without boiling.
  4. For an iced latte, shake the mixture with ice in a sealed jar or blend again with a few ice cubes until chilled and lightly frothy.
  5. Brew 1 to 2 espresso shots or prepare ½ cup of strong brewed coffee, then pour it into a mug or glass.
  6. Slowly pour the banana mixture over the coffee.
  7. Add optional toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a ripe banana with brown spots for the best flavor and a smoother texture.
  • Do not boil the banana mixture, especially for the hot version.
  • Use espresso for a bolder latte flavor, or strong brewed coffee for an easier homemade version.
  • Oat milk creates a creamier texture, while almond milk gives a lighter finish.
