Ingredients

Banana Bread Syrup

• Maple Syrup – Instead of regular sugar I opted for a more natural option with maple syrup. You could also use honey instead.
• Banana – A super ripe banana gives the syrup its classic banana bread taste as well as sweetness. The riper the better!
• Vanilla Bean Paste – Adds rich vanilla flavor with those beautiful flecks of vanilla bean. If you don’t have vanilla bean paste you can use 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
• Cinnamon & Nutmeg – Mimics the comforting aroma and taste of freshly baked banana bread.

Latte

• Espresso – Provides a bold, rich coffee base. I like to do 2 shots of espresso in my latte but for a more mild coffee flavor you could do 1 shot instead.
• Milk – Creates a creamy, smooth texture. Use any milk you like. Dairy or non-dairy both work well!
• Ice – Keeps it chilled and refreshing. Bonus points for crushed ice!

Whipped Cream

• Heavy Cream – Whips up light and airy, perfect for topping the latte.
• Banana Bread Syrup – Sweetens the whipped cream and ties the whole drink together with even more banana bread flavor.

How to Make Banana Bread Latte

1. Make the syrup: In a pot on the stove, add water, maple syrup, sliced banana, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

2. Cool and add to blender: Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before adding it to the blender.

3. Blend syrup: Blend for 1 minute or until smooth. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!

4. Make the banana bread whipped cream: Add heavy cream and syrup to the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Beat cream on medium speed until soft peaks form about 2-3 minutes, set aside until ready to use.
5. Pour drink in glass: Fill a large glass with ice. Pour espresso, milk and syrup on top. Stir to combine.
6. Top with whipped cream and syrup: Top with the banana bread whipped cream a drizzle more of banana bread syrup and a dusting of cinnamon on top. Enjoy!
