Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Banana
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Honey (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the banana into thin rounds.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Add the banana slices to the saucepan and let them cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue stirring gently until the ingredients are fully mixed and the milk is warm, but not boiling.
Use a fork or an immersion blender to mash or blend the softened bananas into the milk for a smoother texture, if desired.
Once the milk mixture is heated through and well incorporated, remove it from the heat.
Pour the cinnamon swirled bananas and milk into a mug or bowl.
Garnish with an optional cinnamon stick for presentation and a sprinkle of extra ground cinnamon, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, fragrant treat!
