- 4 ripe bananas, mashed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.

- In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until slightly chunky.
