Banana Cinnamon Bedtime Cup

Banana and cinnamon make this warm oat-milk cup thick and softly sweet, with a texture closer to a light blended snack than plain milk. A ripe banana gives more sweetness and blends more easily. Blend until smooth before gently warming, and keep the cinnamon modest. The banana should remain recognizable. If the cup becomes thicker than you want, a little more oat milk is more useful than heating it harder or adding extra flavoring.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Unsweetened oat milk
• 1 fruit Banana
• 1/8 tsp Ground cinnamon

Make it

1. Warm the milk gently in a small saucepan; do not boil.
2. Add the spices, flavoring, and any fruit. Whisk powders well. If using tea, steep for the packet’s recommended time and remove the bag.
3. Simmer gently for 2 minutes. Strain whole spices or fruit if you like, then pour into a mug.

Benefits
