Ingredients

4 ripe bananas, sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Optional toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Crushed vanilla wafers
- Chopped pecans
- Caramel sauce
- Vanilla ice cream

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking and make serving easier.

Step 2: Make the Caramel Base

In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.

Spread this mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. As it bakes, the sugar melts into a buttery caramel that coats the bananas beautifully.
