After seeing banana iced coffee on a cafe menu, TikTok user Ellie Gervais decided to recreate the recipe at home, which inspired many more to try making banana coffee. This blended coffee beverage is a supremely simple viral TikTok recipe and it results in a potassium-packed caffeinated beverage—and to make it even easier, users can freeze their peeled bananas beforehand for an icy treat that needs no ice cubes.
On social media, others have gone on to share their own iterations of the simple banana coffee recipe, some with sweet additions like maple syrup and others with functional additions like flavorful collagen creamer. Either way, this recipe is said to be best when ripe bananas are used since they are naturally sweeter since the starches have been broken down.
