Total Time:10 minutes
Yield:1 serving
Ingredients
1/2 ripe banana (mashed)
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1 shot of espresso or 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
3/4 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
Ice (optional, for iced version)
Instructions
In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar.
Add the mashed banana and cinnamon, stirring until caramelized and slightly thickened (1–2 minutes).
Remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract if using.
Pour hot espresso or strong coffee over the banana mixture and stir to combine.
Froth or heat the milk until warm and foamy.
Pour the milk over the banana-coffee base and stir gently.
For iced version: pour banana mixture over ice, then top with cold milk.
Garnish with extra cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
Notes
Caramelizing the banana adds rich depth and enhances sweetness.
Use very ripe bananas for best flavor.
For extra smoothness, strain the banana mixture before combining.
Oat or almond milk both work beautifully for dairy-free versions.
