Instructions
- 1
In a large shallow bowl or baking dish, mash the banana thoroughly with a fork until no large lumps remain, then whisk in the milk, cornstarch, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt until the mixture is smooth and the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- 2
Let the custard mixture rest for 5 minutes so the cornstarch fully hydrates and the batter thickens slightly — it should coat the back of a spoon.
