It is hard to find a clean coffee creamer – one without a lot of added refined sugars, gums, and natural flavors – so I decided to try my hand at this one since I recently saw banana milk in the grocery store and was intrigued, but the ingredients were not something I wanted to put in my body. I made this version with super ripe bananas and only 5 simple real ingredients. I used two bananas to make it creamier and turn it into a creamer, but you can also use one and have it as more of a milk instead.
For this recipe, you will need:
Banana: you want to use ripe bananas, ideally a couple brown spots
Maple Syrup: it’s best to use pure maple syrup for best flavor and to be the most nutrient dense and cleanest option
Vanilla: adds a subtle vanilla flavor to your recipe
Cinnamon: optional, but I love the taste of cinnamon and it’s great for digestion
Tips:
- This recipe is a great way to use very ripe bananas with brown spots
- Use 2 bananas if you love a banana flavor and want a creamier texture
- Use 1 banana for a more milky consistency and less banana taste
- You can omit maple syrup to make it sugar free
How to Store:
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in a sealed jar and shake it before you drink it!
