Notes
Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and banana flavor.
Fully cooked white rice should be used for this recipe.
A few small banana pieces can be left in the mixture for extra texture.
Mix gently after adding the eggs.
Spread the mixture evenly in the baking dish for more consistent baking.
Allow the bake to rest briefly after removing it from the oven so the center can finish setting.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
Reheat individual portions gently or serve chilled.
Fresh banana slices, cinnamon, yogurt, or chopped nuts can be used as serving toppings.
