Whether you’re starting your morning or winding down with a warm cup, this flavorful drink is a decadent yet approachable treat. Here’s how to make this bananas foster latte recipe at home with simple ingredients.
Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 1 shot of espresso (or ¼ cup strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup milk of your choice (whole, oat, almond, or soy all work well)
- 2 tablespoons Syruvia Banana Syrup
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
- A dash of banana chips or cinnamon (optional garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing your espresso or strong brewed coffee. If you don’t have an espresso machine, a dark roast brewed strong will work perfectly. This forms the base flavor and balances the sweet banana notes.
While the espresso brews, heat your milk gently in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir regularly and don’t let it boil. If you prefer, use a milk frother or steamer to create a creamy texture with foam on top.
Once the milk is hot, stir in Syruvia Banana Syrup and cinnamon. Mix well to fully blend the syrup into the milk. The banana adds natural sweetness and depth, while cinnamon brings warmth and a dessert-like aroma.
Pour the coffee into your favorite mug, then slowly add the banana-infused milk. If you frothed the milk, spoon the foam on top for that classic coffeehouse feel.
Top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch, and finish with a sprinkle of banana chips or cinnamon for presentation and texture.
Customization Tips
For added richness, try mixing in a splash of caramel or brown sugar cinnamon syrup. You can also experiment by adding a bit of vanilla or hazelnut for a different spin on this bananas foster latte recipe.
Prefer a colder version? Let the espresso cool, froth the milk cold, and serve it over ice for an iced bananas foster latte variation.
