Easy Milo recipes
Image adapted from Cook Republic & Feastie
First things first, it’s pronounced as mai-lou, not mee-lo. I don’t know if it’s just me but it drives me crazy each time I hear someone pronounce my favourite drink in the entire universe wrongly.
Determined to assemble the best collection of milo recipes on the planet, we scoured the Internet and found 20 milo recipes that will forever change how you look at this drink. It’s not limited to just “hot or cold!” I feel so motivated now to enter the kitchen and create these Milo treats just so I could devour them. That’s a feat considering how lazy I am because I thrive on cereal and microwaveable-anything.
‘Nuff said, and happy scrolling through this list. Bet you’ll be a convert even if you’re not entirely crazy about Milo. Be sure to check out the original creators of the recipes too in the links below.

- Heavy cream
- Milk
- Egg yolks
- Brown sugar

6. Milo Brownies
Source: Laprensa
Chocolate brownies bore me – they are almost the same everywhere. It pays more to bake your own Milo brownies because your taste buds will thank you for letting them experience a more complex set of flavours from the marriage of cocoa and Milo in your recipe.
If this isn’t enough to convince you, consider that you’ll get to eat these 30 minutes after you start. Yes, baking time is included.
Ingredients:
- Milo powder
- Eggs
- Sugar
- Salt

12. Milo Porridge
Source: Nestle
I’ve tried this before the even lazier way with instant oats for a super quick meal at home. This may look like baby food but it’s not that disgusting taste-wise.
It’s full of nutrients and tasted considerably decent with subtle hints of Milo. Some toasted nuts or fresh berries would definitely enhance the taste of this hearty bowl of Milo oats porridge.

From the picture above, which one do you think is the one you can DIY at home – the nondescript-looking one on the left or the one fully filled Milo powder on the right?
Solely based on how they look, I’d prefer to eat the one on the right just because it looks more real and less laden with chemicals. Psst, you’re right if you guessed that’s the DIY version!
