Tips & Variations for Banana Milk Coffee

Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and creaminess. The riper the banana, the better the flavor.
Make it dairy-free by using almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Oat milk gives the creamiest result.
Turn it into iced banana milk coffee by chilling the coffee first and serving it over ice to avoid dilution.
Add a mocha twist by blending in 1 teaspoon cocoa powder (2.5 g) for a chocolatey flavor.
Boost the protein with 1 tablespoon nut butter (16 g) or a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
Lighten it up by using half milk and half water while keeping the banana for creaminess.

FAQs

Can I store banana milk coffee for later?

Banana milk coffee tastes best fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking.

Can I make banana milk coffee without a blender?

Yes, but a blender gives the smoothest texture. You can mash the banana very well with a fork, then whisk it with the milk until mostly smooth before adding the coffee.

What type of coffee works best for banana milk coffee?

Medium or light roast coffee works beautifully because it balances the natural sweetness of the banana without overpowering it.

Can I make it ahead of time?

You can prepare the banana milk in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours, then add freshly brewed coffee when ready to serve.

Why does my banana milk coffee separate?

Natural separation can happen because there are no stabilizers. A quick stir or shake brings it back together easily.
