Below is a clear step-by-step guide to help you make it perfectly every time.
🍌 Oven-Baked 5-Ingredient Caramelized Banana Pudding
What makes it special
Instead of layering cookies or preparing custard on the stove, this version relies on oven heat to gently melt and caramelize sweetened condensed milk over ripe bananas. The result is a soft pudding base with golden, slightly sticky edges and a naturally banana-forward flavor.
🧾 Ingredients (5 simple pantry staples)
- 4–5 ripe bananas (the riper, the sweeter)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (about 395g)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional but highly recommended)
🔥 Step-by-Step Method
1. Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lightly grease a medium baking dish or pie plate with butter or a neutral oil. This helps prevent sticking and enhances caramelization on the edges.
2. Slice the bananas
Peel the bananas and slice them into thick rounds (about 1–2 cm thick).
Arrange them evenly across the bottom of your baking dish.
- Try not to overcrowd or stack too tightly
- Even spacing helps them cook uniformly and soften into the pudding
