I like you, and I think about you often. Like… everyday.
I think about what kind of cookies you might like. I think about what kind of soup you’ll want to make. I think about vegan things for you. I try to figure out gluten-free things… and I think about how you might like to make buttermilk pancakes for your kids this weekend.
Yesterday though… yesterday I thought only of myself. I thought of me, and how much I could not live another second without a chocolate milkshake in my face. I over-scooped a hearty portion of ice cream, I busted out my malt powder, and I fried up a banana with just a touch of butter. See where I’m going with this?
Then… I counted the seconds until I could drink the milkshake. Hurry hurry hurry. These pictures were taken in haste. That’s no lie.
Two seconds…
I’m so freaking impatient.
You know what a chocolate milkshake looks like, don’t you. All of this is really just a formality.
Aaaaand drink. Watch your toes. This cat is a monster.
What does a Burnt Banana Chocolate Malt taste like? Um… banana, chocolate, and whoppers, and heaven, and delicious.
You can, of course, skip the malt, use vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup, use unburnt bananas, add bourbon, or use vanilla frozen yogurt instead of chocolate ice cream…. You can do anything you want. Don’t add spinach; that would probably ruin everything.
Burnt Banana Chocolate Malted Milkshake
Makes: 2 milkshakes
1 1/2 cups chocolate ice cream (I used 4 large scoops of ice cream)
3/4 cup milk (any fat content)
1 banana
2 tablespoons malt powder
Melt butter in a small saute pan over medium heat. Peel banana and spice into small circles, or into two long banana halves. Cook the bananas until browned and almost brunt, flip and cook on both sides. Remove the bananas from the pan and let cool before blending into the milkshake.
When the bananas have cooled, place in a blender with the chocolate ice cream, milk, and malt powder. Blend on high until smooth. Pour into two large glasses and enjoy immediately.

Thank you, Joy!
A ‘Thank you’ all the way from India!
I love chocolate and I love bananas……. the rest is sorted! :)
Aurora
I made this without the malt with 1 c 1% milk and two scoops of ice cream and it made two perfect shakes. I love, loved the banana in it and I will definitely make it again when I have malt.
Ginger G
… malt powder made from barley is not gluten free
--
she doesn’t ever say it is. good job reading!
Reem
OMG I just made this. I didnt have malt so instead, I put coconut. and instead of chocolate ice cream I put Pralines and cream icecream. OMG IT WAS DELICIOUS. just what I needed today.
I will definitely make this again soon, I just need to get chocolate ice cream and malt. OH man this is gonna be great with burgers and fries.
Kayla
This sounds delicious! But, I just about choked on the spinach smoothie I’m drinking when I read the “don’t add spinach” part. Adding spinach makes me feel so much better about my unhealthy smoothie addiction. :)
But I mean…whatever helps ya sleep at night, right?
Lauren
Oh my……I just….how had I never thought about caramelizing the bananas before putting them in to a shake before?? How marvellous! True, I really shouldn’t drink milkshakes as they always seem to make me sick….but I would surely get sick if I DIDN’T have one of these…so really…
Leah
Fried bananas with sugar and cinnamon were often my midnight snack in college. Mmmm.
Rebecca in STL
Finally warm enough in STL that I made this for myself tonight…myself and nobody else. And now my life will be divided into the time before I fried a banana in butter and blended it with chocolate ice cream and after I fried a banana in butter and blended it with chocolate ice cream.
Nicole
Made this today. Sat in the south Florida sun. Sipped on it slowly. Life was, for the moment, so good.
joythebaker
love this!
Seanna Lea
This looks delicious. I’d skip the malt, but if I didn’t skip it then I wouldn’t need to share with the husband creature.
Or maybe I’ll use some instant espresso powder, skip the malt and still have it all to myself!
Sarah
Clarification: this makes one perfectly sized, scrumptious shake, not 2.
Rynn Ailes
I like how Sarah thinks.
Dalia
HI. I am not sure where to find malt powder. Can I substitute it for something else or Can I leave it out completely without changing the flavor that you experieced? I want my milkshake to taste just as good as yours looks.
Thanks!
emily
it should be near the coffee in the grocery store. i think the shake would be good either way, but i’d definitely recommend malt powder!
kimberlycun
the first picture really whets the appetite!!
Kate from Scratch
Oh for goodness sakes, you… Joy, yes you.
I want to be a kid, now. And I want to make these for my 4-year old, this weekend. And you know what? I’m not sure which one of us will be more excited about it. I also think you would probably be, just about the most awesome babysitter in the world (I’m just saying!).
I desperately need to get my mommy block fixed. It stops me from thinking of such genius.
Meagan @ Scarletta Bakes
Super yummy milkshake.
Super cute kitty.
Love it – can’t wait to try this one. Thanks!
Teri
Oh My!!! This looks like heaven!
btw where would one find malt powder?
joythebaker
i found mine at a kinda specialty food store. also.. try amazon. they have everything, don’t they?
Cadillac Cat
Don’t worry Joy, we really are livin’ the good life in the 310! We are blessed to be able to wear shorts this time of year and the envy is totally understandable.
Drea
Done and done. YUM!
Anna
Oh sheesh . . . this look delightful. I’m about to go make this with my chocolate coconut milk ice cream right now. I’m gone. Not that I live in a place where milkshakes are acceptable yet, but ya know . . . whatever.
Also, in my efforts to not be insanely jealous that you are wearing shorts (cute shorts, btw), I’m just going to say that I get to wear scarves a lot, my leg warmers (which are hot, I mean, who are we kidding?) non-stop, and sweater dresses. So there.
That didn’t work. I’m still jealous of yo’ sunshine.
Oh, by the way . . .
http://cheekybaker.weebly.com/2/post/2011/02/chocolate-coconut-milk-ice-cream.html
jessie
Okay, I can get over the shorts since I live in NC. I can forgive the shorts. What I cannot forgive are those cute skinny legs in those shorts! How does one maintain such skinny legs with all the deliciousness that abounds on your blog and in your home? I too love the baking, but a picture of my legs, in shorts or otherwise, will never blacken the pages of my blog.
Lucky you.
(But seriously, that’s just not fair.)
:)
Brina
I’m not a malt girl, but the rest of this shake is SCREAMING out “DRINK ME BRINA!!!!” You seem to have a direct line into all the things that make my tummy happy… Bertha (the fat woman lives inside of me) thanks you. This is just one of the many reasons I’ve given you an award on my blog, go check it out!

Mama Maria
OMG!
I really can’t wait to try this delectable treat but my daughter said I may not until she is home from college… I’m finding it hard to follow this request. I mean, maybe I should “test” it to make sure we should make it when she gets home for the summer? Maybe I should try the different variations to see which one I think she would like the best? You know, that way I could have the best ingredients on hand when she gets home? I’m only considering this because I love her so much.
I almost have myself convinced!
Kirsty
Your kitty is so floofy! I miss my kitties, and my dairy. My daughter is nursing and can’t handle me eating any dairy, and for the first time in my life I am kittyless. I have been considering buying coconut milk ice cream in spite of the exorbitant price. I think this may be the recipe for it!
Katrina
All I can say is Thank Goodness Breyer’s makes a Lactose Free Ice Cream! It only comes in Vanilla but hey that is what chocolate syrup is for right! Love the recipes and commentary. Hit 90 here the other day, I guess it is time for a tan!
Annabel
Hi Joy!
This doesn’t have much to do with this post, but I when I saw this recipe, I immediately thought of you. Please check it out:
http://www.beckybakes.net/2011/01/20/oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/
…oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies? What?
joythebaker
i saw this! i thought for 16 seconds about making it… then i moved on. delicious thought!
Baking Serendipity
Ohhhh chocolate malt milkshakes remind me of college and happiness. I can’t imagine the banana doing anything but making this better :)
paddleattachment
Surprisingly, you had me at “burnt banana.” And then I saw the pictures and an obsession was born.
Basia
Joy, I love you with the heat of thousand suns but you are killing me here. I am studying for midterms and your website was supposed to be the 5 min break – now I need to run to trader joe’s for ice cream and bananas. Unless you deliver to culver city ?! I mean … you OWE me for all that deliciousness you’re posting
joythebaker
definitely take a break and run to trader joes. totally worth it.
Naama
Is that coffee table from IKEA?
I think I have the same one but in a different color… And I live on the other side of the world!!
Love the cat! (I also have a cat, but in a different color :-))
Love bananas & chocolate! Love your blog!!
joythebaker
different colored cats and tables… i bet we do!
Merage
Looks yummmy.. I think I’ll give this a try! Also, slight typo….you said you “peel bananas and SPICE into small circles…”. Maybe supposed to be “slice” ? I figure it was the excitement from the milkshake that made that happen :P.
Janice
Just wanting to say that I love your cookie sheet too. To me it says “serious baker here.” Absolutely not a distraction. It works perfectly.
Maris (In Good Taste)
This really does look very tempting
Amy
Wow! Cat has gotten so big!!!
The milkshake looks good too :)
Miss @ Miss in the Kitchen
I love your style! I love your photos, your writing and definitely this milk shake! I’ve got to try frying a banana, that just sounds too yummy to pass up!
chelsea
Yikes! Aren’t bananas supposed to be separated from the other fruits in the fruit bowl? Danger!
joythebaker
really? is that a thing? clearly my mama didn’t raise me right.
chelsea
Yeah! Bananas release a gas (ethylene) that causes other plants to ripen faster!
That’s why they have those fruit bowls with the tall hooks – so bananas can be kept separate!
Zoe
It was my understanding that oranges cause banana’s to ripen faster. So if you have green bananas that you want to ripen faster you keep them in the fruit bowl, if they are ripe and you don’t want them to brown you take them out of the fruit bowl
lynley
Hi Joy,
Im sure you’v eheard this before but your blog is a JOY to read :)
Ive only just discovered there are blogs out there everywhere but Im lovin it and yours is great.
Cheers, Lyn
Tamara
Wow! This looks delightful! I will have to try this.
lcwhitty
Delicious! I used vanilla ice cream and chocolate malt powder (ovaltine). The caramelized bananas make all the difference. Wow!
Lexi
I absolutely love that you put the milkshake in a jar. It looks like the perfect pancake breakfast!
Kate
Joy- whenever I need to make a tasty treat I turn to your site for a recipe. Last night I made the gooey chocolate cakes and topped them with blueberries and strawberries. I love that I can count on your recipes to be so awesome every time. Everything I have made from your site it sooooooo goooooood! I really appreciate you. Thanks. :)
S.
Everything about this sounds like a good idea. Mmmmmm.
clémence
Oh looks so delicious!
Julie H.
HOLY YUMMMMMM! :) I for one am glad that you did something for yourself! Go Joy!
Anne-Marie
I love your new banner for April! Beautiful.
Sarah-Anne
ha, that spinach comment is fun-ny!
jessi b
Dangitt that looks good.
pookiep17
Wow….burnt banana, malt, chocolate…..all in one milkshake!! Genius! I am already thinking this makes more like one serving…for me only…..forget the two serving thingie!
Sally - My Custard Pie
Joy – I think I’ve said before that your posts are so joyful! It cheers me up to read them – “spinach would probably ruin it” LOL!
Mae @ Passionatemae
u did it again Joy!Milkshakes are my favourite and if I can have anything I want, I would have a milkshake at every meal, but of course that’s not possible..doesn’t go well for my waistline.
Will definitely use vanilla ice cream instead!
Gen
Oh this looks so good, especially the roasted banana! I see you’ve out on shorts, spring has come!!!
Eatmorecake
Hello Joy,
I just found your blog (a little slow aren’t I) and I loved your single lady’s pancake post. Do you pikelet? Or is that too much of a perversion of pancakes? Nigella has a single serve pikelet recipe, you mix it in a mug and it immediately made me think of you
http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/Fluffy-Buttery-Pikelets–5318
joythebaker
i have never heart of a pikelet before today. amazing! want.
conspiratorcook
Oh, sweet lord, I am relieved that those are bananas and not bacon…. Before reading, I was seriously doubting how one’s heart might survive such a thing!
joythebaker
not bacon!
Jess @ bbfoodie.blogspot.com
Joy, I think frying your bananas before adding them to a shake is the most phenomenal idea I’ve heard in a while! I had fried plantains (when ripe, even better than bananas!) made by an Ecuadorian housewife once- that was 4 years ago and it’s still my fave dessert… I’m thinkin I may have to try these. You might want to try fried plantains, if you haven’t already!
TheGourmetCoffeeGuy
Really like your burn banana chocolate malted milkshake recipe. Enjoyed the quick process and description you used to come up with this creative and delicious drink. Have not considered frying bananas and then adding up to a milkshake. Imagine the process enhances the flavor, worth trying. Do like the way you use the mason jars, they make great beverage containers. Nice cat.
courtneylaurel
taylor s, that’s exactly what I was thinking. shorts and a big bowl of fresh fruit; she’s living the good life. here in mn shorts will be another month in the waiting, but malts are yummy at any temperature.
joythebaker
i’m really really sorry about the shorts. it was so selfish of me to show off like that. i wasn’t thinking. i’m a jerk…. in shorts.
helen
joy! it wasn’t your fault.. really :) who knew people would get so jealous over a pair of shorts right? they just love your legs and are jealous of your humidity. i know a ton of people can’t feel the heat, but it’s not like you can stop it. the heat is there no matter what and joy, you are not at fault. you live in LA so like duh! it’s warm there! don’t worry. kitty kitty and i will help :P
taylor s.
i was all about this post until i realized you’re wearing shorts in that photo… if its nice enough to wear shorts there now im upset and we’re no longer friends. its still 40 here.
Sebastian
OMG i just ran across mexico city looking for malt powder to try this, (it’s almost imposible to find that stuff here >.<) and wow it tastes awesome o=!!!!
Sarah
I love that you gave your milkshake a bandana :]
Kat @ Cupcake Kat
I love the burnt bananas. They are so beautiful
The Newlywed Chefs
Oh my goodness, Joy- these look SO good. Please deliver two to our loft ASAP. Thanks!
kerry
I’m not a fan of malt, but a chocolate milkshake does sound like the best idea right now. I should probably finish my vodka first. ;)
And I love the idea of those Kerr mason jars. It’s so quaint. <3
eliz
I can’t tell if you’re the devil or an angel sent from chocolate heaven, either way YUM!
Betsy
Just made this, and it’s sooooooo good. Husband made similar, but with peanutbutter insteadof malt. Both ways are amazingly delicious! Thanks, Joy!
vanillasugarblog
hi, my name is dawn. :::waiting for response:::
i’m a milkshake junkie. really bad one too.
lol
Chrysanthe
I’m really liking that bourbon suggestion.
joythebaker
me too.
crystal
cute coffee table. it looks much sturdier than your old one that collapsed! also i woke up early this morning and made your grapefruit honey scone thingies, but i used an orange instead. perfect way to start the day! you’re awesome joy : )
joythebaker
i like you. orange would be delicious in those scones. and i don’t think this coffee table is collapsing any time soon. phew.
Stephanie
I love all these flavors together! That being said… now I need to go out and buy malt powder.
Rebecca in STL
This looks absofreaking amazing. The first day the temperature hits 80, I have a date with this recipe. But right now, it is still chilly in STL. Boo.
Catherine
The only thing better than a great chocolate milkshake is a great chocolate milkshake and an adorable kitty. That is a good life!!
anjali
i think it’s time i need to made the switch from hot chocolate to milkshakes even if the weather outside won’t cooperate but realistically, it’s seattle so it’s quite possible if i’m waiting on the weather, i’ll be waiting til july to have a milkshake (forgive my bitter rant, i just need sunshine. and quite possibly this milk shake)
by the way, i love your new banner – i’m feelin the colours.
joythebaker
geez! i take it for granted that it’s milkshake weather for me this week!
Hannah
umm, can you say YUM? i think malt powder should be added to everything. :D
emily
I just got my wisdom teeth pulled an hour ago and all i can eat is ice cream. THANK YOU.
joythebaker
you poor dear! take drugs!
cindy
this is milkshake genius joy. malt powder forever!
opticbard
I think it’s good when you think of yourself! But where do you find Malt Powder, I’ve never heard of it before.
auntiemaryann
did you just put a canning jar on your osterizer? my aunt used to do that (because she broke the original jar that came with the machine) BTW, oh would you, could you break out the barkeeper’s friend and polish up your cookie sheet? i’d do it for you if i lived in your building. whenever the burnt cookie sheet is in the shot, i find it so distracting. just saying…
joythebaker
no… no canning jar on top of the blender.. though that’s a smarty-pants move.
and no… i’m totally into my cookie sheet looking worn and used just the way it is. i love it.
Gabby @ GabbysGfree
Oh man, I would kill for that milkshake right now (minus the malt – I’m gluten-free). Maybe I can convince the chef-in-training fiance to make it for me ;)
Seren
This really made my day :-) must find me some malted milk powder….ASAP
Allison
Burnt banana? Yes. Chocolate? Yes. Milkshake? Yes. Mmmhmmm this looks good.
Pritika
I’m kinda loving the look of your house. Can you put up more pictures of your place? I’m buying a house and looking for inspiration to decorate it!
Nicole
Oh my god.
donelle
i totally make protein shakes like this—EVERYDAY…heavenly delights. i use chocolate protein powder though and banana and ice and milk. YUMMMM
Ellie@fitforthesoul
the moment I saw the words “burnt banana” I had a huge grin on my face. I love cooked/burnt naners. Your kitty is soooo purty! love the fur. can’t believe I used to be a cat-hater. now i love ’em :D have a blessed day!
Anna
hehe i love your writing! and i love LOVE the burnt banana idea! i also love your cat.
Dana @ My Cherry Pie
I’ve never made a milkshake before and this sounds so good, that I’m going to bookmark this for an extra hot day to surprise my hunny with. Thanks Joy!
Rachel @ The Avid Appetite
This looks INSANELY good! I recently made malted chocolate cupcakes and they have really kindled my love of malt! Oh and that burnt banana? Holy yum!
You are
a dringus.
I’m hurt.
This will take some time.
don’t touch me
Andrea
I am not afraid to admit that I promptly got up and made this for lunch. Yes, lunch.
Snarky Sister
My girl crush on you grew 10 sizes when I saw Bust magazine in your pile of books/mags. You are my internet hero. Have a great weekend!
Oh. The milkshake looks amazing too.
Rocky Mountain Woman
I got quite a chuckle out of this one!
You can always tell the posts where I really love the food, because the pictures aren’t quite as nice and they might be a little shaky…low blood sugar, don’t you know!
CobyLyn
Hey! Nice legs! Maybe I should start bicycling everywhere again :) Good for you that you can count to 2.5 before downing your food, I almost ALWAYS forget until after I’ve eaten half! :D PS: I’d bite your toes too if you chained me under your table… LOL! It DOES look like the red headed child is tethered!
*love*
Jackie
this looks yummy and I absolutely LOVE your new April header!!! The bright colors are so fun and spring-y!
Danae (The Busty Baker)
That looks delicious! I wish I had some ice cream to make one. And I love your toe monster. He looks just like mine! (Except mine is a leg monster who attacks you as you walk by.)
Kelly
This looks like HEAVEN!!! I love all things burnt, it’s like you made this especially for me :)
Love,
Kelly
PS – I have an orange kitty. He’ll be 3 years old this month. He was a demon kitty for the first 18 months to a year, now he is the coolest cat ever. I promise he’ll get better :)
Laura @ SweetSavoryPlanet
I am sending this recipe to my son. He was “burning” bananas, peanut butter and nutella to create a sandwich something he was craving. He liked it but I think he will like your shake better! Although he might add peanut butter.
Caelyn
I love your cat! This looks delicious.
what katie's baking
her cat? lol :)
Kartik @ Bakeology 101
Awww… That milkshake is wrapped in a blanket and looks so good. It reminds of one of those days where I just want to be really lazy and curl up (like your little friend there) on the sofa with a good book.
Patience
you can wear shorts!?!? Lucky – its never going to get warm in Seattle :(
caroleena
Now I want Bananas Foster — for BREAKFAST! (:
Renée
Thanks Joy for thinking of me. See, I can’t enjoy regular bananas anymore. They make me ill if they are raw. It makes making smoothies all the more difficult. This is something I can do and share with the family. Great way to get a bit of calcium and potassium, right? Cheers.
Sues
Whoa. I absolutely need this. FOr sure. I agree about not adding spinach, too :)
Tiffany Beattie
I soooo love reading your posts, and your pics are awesome! This one was great… loved the part where you said u know what a shake looks like, don’t read the rest of this post… LOL!
jen @ the baked life
Dear Joy,
How did you know I love all things burnt? Toast, bananas, the occasionally accidental summer skin burn. This looks like a perfectly acceptable breakfast to me. And it’s gluten free. See you were thinking of us.
Also, I am slightly jealous of your short wearing. I live in Vancouver, B.C. and well it’s not snowing, but it rains alot. People look at me funny when I wear shorts right now.
Kitten is looking mighty handsome and vicious in that picture. I have the same toy for my kitties and they turn in rabit tiger-blood animals when they play with it. I think it’s a sign. No toys like that when bare legs are around.
Jen
Melissa
Yum!
Chihiro
You are a true professional, who else would be able to actually take a picture of ice cream? Love it.
Robyn {Planet Byn}
i miss the spoons, but the easter eggs are super cute too! have a great weekend joy!
PaulaMc
This makes my tummy all rumbly — in a good way. Mr. Monster Cat wants one, too.
elizabeth
I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to stop including that adorable little furball in pictures because as soon as I see his sweet little face, I totally forget about your amazing recipe and all i want to do is squeeze him!!!
(and yeah, that means your cat is cute enough to make a preggo forget about chocolate)
joythebaker
that’s pretty serious.
Jesse
the only thing that could improve this is the addition of peanut butter.
i am drooling here.
joythebaker
you’re not wrong.
homegrown countrygirl
Oh, Yum! I wouldn’t be able to wait for it, either! Fabulous pictures, too, as always!
Stephanie Rose
you’re wearing shorts… im so jealous! it just snowed here in Rhode Island. lame. doesnt matter though cause im still making this shake.
Anne @ Baking Me
If I made those bananas I don’t know that they would make it into the shake, I would probably eat them before they had a chance. Oh and adding some bourbon to the mix sounds pretty great, I sure do like the way you think :)
laura @ alittlebarefoot
best idea ever!
Le Man and Wife
So I’m reading this at 9am and I’m THIS CLOSE to making it right this minute. Yum, ice cream for breakfast…
Happy Foolish Friday!
Heather @ CreativeFamilyMoments
Nothing finer than a drink in a mason jar – I love it that way. Yum!
Carissa
How did you know that I’ve been craving a chocolate milkshake? This is perfect!!
Ali @ Three Baking Sheets
Aww. It’s a little milkshake bandit.
joythebaker
precicely.
Tia
YUM. This definitely goes along with my soul-and-waist-embiggening theme this week. Yay for food that makes you happy!
Michelle
Damn! Near perfect. I love the malt. I love the chocolate ice cream even more. It was 73 degrees yesterday, time to get with the program!
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday
I read this as Burnt Banana Chocolate Malted Mistake. I thought maybe you charred a banana beyond recognition.
But you didn’t.
You wouldn’t make such a mistake.
Justeen @ Blissful Baking
That milkshake sounds like heaven. I love anything burnt! :) YUM!
jeanology
That looks soooooooo delicious!
Joy, for your next recipe, could you teach us how to make the one-year-old’s birthday cake featured on Teen Mom 2? I’m not sure I can go another week without it.
joythebaker
um… i need to rewatch this episode… clearly.
jeanology
Yeah. Last episode of the season. Classiest cake I’ve ever seen…
Helena
I have the same ikea table, but I would like it a lot better with that milkshake on top :)
Melzor
That butter-burned banana is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I am inclined to skip the shake entirely and munch on golden, crisp slices of banana.
Yes, I think that sounds rather splendid.
mia
i love how your cat’s just lying there like “there is NOOOO way baby you are drinking ALL of that goodness”
he musta licked the bottom clean, no?
what a cute mushy ball of fur and soft little monsterness….
if you played an april fools joke on him would he FREAK OUT?! worth testing? possibly… :P
ellen
friends? letta me see:
bananas? check.
CHOCOLATE- holy CHOCO ICE CREAM?!- check check check.
milkkkk- checkeroo
cat- check checky
love your little monster. and how ridiculous I AM with my heat turned on, shivering at home while you’re @ LA, awesome as can be, in shorts that flatter your legs. just amazing joy. and nutritional!
happy april fools day? peace~
Kelley
Is this considered breakfast food?
joythebaker
duh.
Julie
That response made my night!
The Blue-Eyed Bakers
Yeah we’re not going to argue here…chocolate, bananas…sounds fairly amazing.
Rebecca
ahhh! I love that you’re wearing shorts and making cold drinks, when it’s 30 deg and snowing here in NH. JEALOUS!!
Ella @ The Single Girl's Kitchen
weirdly, you had me at “burnt banana.”
also, cute shorts. i’m way jealous you are wearing shorts. it’s still cold and dreary over on this other, lamer coast.
tj
…Orrrrr, you could skip the malt, skip the ice cream and chocolate syrup, skip the bananas all together and just have bourbon! Yay! *giggle*
…Okay, not. Seriously, this just sounds so yummy and how chic are you with the jar and the tied napkin? That is so over-the-top cute! :o)
…Thank you for the recipe! I will be trying this soon!
…Blessings… :o)
Heather (Heather's Dish)
well this tells me that i now have something to make with the plethora of bananas sitting on my counter!
Meg H.
Two servings? Really? I’m thinking more like one, particularly if it has chocolate and banana and malt. I am working from home today . . . I know what I”m having for lunch!
Mackenzie@The Caramel Cookie
Holy yum! I bet this tastes amazing!
Julie @ Willow Bird Baking
Oh MY goodness, WHAT! This looks flippin’ incredelicious. I can’t wait to be drinking that.
Andrea
My boyfriend’s dad has a birthday coming up and he loves milkshakes…at least I’m pretty sure he does. Anyway, if I’m right this may be what I contribute to the party!
The Teenage Taste
I love the banana+chocolate flavor combo. The burnt banana would probably taste out-of-this-world! Thanks for another amazing recipe, Joy!
Valeria
ahahahha, no, promise, I’ll not try with spinach! this recipe is genius and I always have bananas in my cooler :)
Ashley
Joy,
you have given me a reason to finally get a new blender! Thanks for sharing!
Happy When Not Hungry
This sounds amazing! I love malted anything, so I definitely need to try this. So much better with the burnt bananas too!
Tanya
I cannot live another second without this either. Not. One. Second.
Lauren at Keep It Sweet
I would have eaten this so fast there would be no pictures! YUM
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga)
I wouldnt even call those bananas burnt. They are caramelized and perfect! I made bananas foster. Because rum, sugar, and flaming bananas is always a good thing. Those nannas look delish! As does the milkshake!
:)
Jacque O
Yum!!! I can’t wait to try ths. It looks easy and totally delicious! LOVE the cat!
Sarah
I want one and it’s only 5:30am and I’m on my way to work. Perhaps as a friday night dessert…….yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Katrina
The bananas are the selling point in this for me. YUM!!
Holly B @ Recipes from a Normal Mum
You’ve done it again. You’ve made me reconsider something I usually hate.
Terry
I’m all over that for this weekend! By the way, for anyone living in Europe,Horlicks is is a malt powder that for some reason is marketed as a late-night drink for children.
Silvia
Love the new banner on the page, so pretty!
PaulaMc
I couldn’t agree more!
Marlene
Oh my. Can I come over and we have one together…? Sounds soooo delicious!

Well, you might think you were only thinking of yourself. But I know you were thinking of me, a new-reader-you’ve-probably-never-even-seen-before. This blog is fabulous! Fried bananas are one of my favorite desserts. So I can’t wait to try them in a milkshake.
Also, I like meringue cookies and chocolate chip ones that stay chewy and not crispy.
And potato & leek soup.
Thanks for thinking of me. ;)

What a novel idea drinking burnt bananas in a shake!! Sounds totally awesome! I’m sure your cat thinks so too! He sure is getting big by the way and still just as cute! :)

I’ll take the cat-although the shake sounds fantastic.

Chocolate and banana are a match made in heaven, me likes. (Funny, I have exactly the same little metal (silver?) vase as the one you have on the table. And I live in Finland. Got it from my mother-in-law who actually has lived in the US so maybe she got it from there.)
Jessica @ bake me away!
Fact: whenever I order a milk shake, it’s always banana. Screw that, I’m making my own! As in, this. I still need to experience malt outside of Whoppers.
p.s. I like your shoes, glasses, and heart your monster cat.

BURNT bananas. holy heavens. genius. as if my favorite combination couldn’t get any yummier.
Erin
Who would’ve thought of COOKING bananas before milk-shaking them? Genius. Pure genius. And your cat is awesome.
