Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Biscoff spread
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients and ensure they are fresh and at room temperature. Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
- Add the rolled oats to a high-speed blender. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can briefly pulse the oats first to create a finer consistency.
- Pour the almond milk into the blender with the oats. The cold milk will help create a creamy base for the smoothie.
- Add the ripe banana chunks to provide natural sweetness and a creamy texture to the smoothie.
- Measure and add the Biscoff spread, which will give the smoothie a rich, caramelized cookie flavor. Ensure the spread is at room temperature for easier blending.
- Drizzle in the maple syrup to enhance the sweetness and complement the Biscoff flavor.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon into the blender to add warmth and depth to the smoothie's flavor profile.
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then blend again briefly to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses. For an extra touch, you can drizzle a small amount of Biscoff spread on top or sprinkle some crushed Biscoff cookies as a garnish.
- Serve immediately while the smoothie is cold and fresh. If not serving right away, give it a quick stir before drinking.
