There is a current trend in the coffee world that has the internet in a chokehold. That trend, ladies and gentlemen, is banana-flavored coffee. My social media feed has been flooded with latte recipes for Banana Pudding, Bananas Foster, Banana Bread, and even Banana Split. People are sharing their homemade banana syrup recipes and taste-testing bottled syrups to see which tastes less artificial.


I was first introduced to banana-flavored coffee a few years ago with Sheetz’s Chocolate-Covered Banana mocha, and I can honestly say it changed my life. I am happy to see this flavor is finally getting the love and attention it deserves, so, in the spirit of being a trend follower, I tried 4 banana-flavored coffees that are now regularly in rotation. And, since I don’t believe in gatekeeping, I’m sharing these recipes so you can make them for yourself.


DISCLAIMER: These recipes are simply guidelines. I like a sweeter, iced coffee, and the measurements reflect that. Feel free to follow these recipes as is or adjust them however you wish.
