Ingredients

1 large very ripe banana mashed
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup water
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
2 shots of espresso
2 cups milk of choice

Instructions

To make the syrup, add the banana, brown sugar, and water to a small saucepan over medium heat.
1 large very ripe banana, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 cup water
Bring to a simmer, and let it cook for 7-8 minutes until thickened and bubbly.
Stir in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
½ tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract, pinch of salt
Transfer the syrup to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Or, pour the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to strain out any lumps.
Brew the espresso. Add 3 tablespoons of syrup to the espresso and stir.
2 shots of espresso
Heat the milk and pour ½ to ¾ cup into each glass.
2 cups milk of choice
Froth the remaining milk. Then, spoon a layer of frothed milk over the top of each latte.
Finish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

Notes

Oat milk froths best for dairy-free lattes.
Syrup sweetness can be adjusted to taste. Extra syrup works well in iced coffee or cold brew.
To froth the milk: Heat the milk until warm but not boiling, then froth it using a handheld milk frother, French press, or steam wand. If you don’t have a frother, you can shake the warm milk in a tightly sealed jar for 20–30 seconds, then microwave it briefly to set the foam.
