Ingredients Needed for Banana Latte
- ½ ripe banana – Adds natural sweetness and creaminess
- ¾ cup oat milk (or milk of choice) – Barista oat milk works especially well
- ½–1 cup brewed coffee or espresso – Adjust strength to taste
- Ice – For serving
Substitution Tips
- Use ¼ banana if you want a more coffee-forward flavor
- Dairy Free: Almond milk or dairy milk can replace oat milk
- Almond Breeze does have their own flavor of banana milk if you can find it. I tried to find it in my stores here and I could not. Its hard to find.
- Add vanilla extract or cinnamon for a banana bread flavor
- Maple syrup or honey can be added if your banana isn’t very ripe
- Use cold brew or espresso for a stronger latte
