Philz Banana Caramel Cold Brew 🍌☕️

If you’ve ever been to Philz Coffee, you know their drinks are next-level creative. One of my favorites? The Banana Caramel Cold Brew—it’s smooth, sweet, and a little unexpected. Instead of spending $8+ at the coffee shop, I made a better-for-you version at home using simple ingredients. And since Girl Math says making your coffee at home is basically like making money… this recipe is a win-win. 😉

This version uses a quick homemade banana caramel sauce that blends into almond milk for a creamy “banana milk” you’ll want to sip straight from the blender. Poured over cold brew and ice, it’s cozy, refreshing, and feels like a treat.


The Recipe

Ingredients

Banana Caramel Sauce

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed

  • 1-2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons  homemade caramel sauce

  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Coffee

  • 1 cup cold brew

  • 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

  • Ice

  • Extra caramel sauce for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Step 1: Make the banana caramel sauce

  • Add the mashed banana and water to a saucepan over medium heat. Let the banana start to melt into the water, stirring often.

  • Add sugar and cinnamon, stir.

  • Sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the banana softens and the sugar caramelizes.

  • Remove from heat and blend to fully combine.

Step 2: Assemble the cold brew

  • Add 2 tablespoons of banana caramel sauce to a glass and mix with your cold brew until frothy and combined.

  • Add the almond milk and whisk until completely smooth.

  • Fill glass with ice.

  • Top with additional vanilla cold foam and caramel sauce if desired, then stir and sip.


Why You’ll Love It

  • Coffee shop vibes at home without the price tag.

  • Better-for-you twist using banana and coconut sugar for natural sweetness.

  • Perfectly cozy yet refreshing—ideal for September sipping as we head into fall.

  • Girl Math approved: save money, drink coffee, repeat.


This Philz Banana Caramel Cold Brew is the perfect blend of creamy, sweet, and bold. It’s a little indulgent, a little better-for-you, and guaranteed to become a new favorite in your coffee lineup.
