Custard
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups whole milk (or half and half)
- 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and stir in the coconut sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Bring to a simmer and add the sliced bananas.
