Bran didn't recognize him because his face is always covered

In all of the chapters it's mentioned that Coldhands face is covered with a scarf that covers his mouth. I don't remember what Benjen's original eye color was, but I'd guess not blue. That and the fact that he appears to be dead, may have made Bran avoid looking too close. Why Benjen wouldn't reveal himself to Bran is a decent question, but it may be that he lost some or most of his memories after being turned.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

If his face is always covered, how can you say you know who he is?

I don't think anyone's saying they know who he is.

Given that Martin doesn't seem to introduce characters like that, someone we know is more likely

But the point is, they were introduced at least, and not brought in from left field.

Also, telling your 10-year-old nephew that you're a monster now must be rough.
