1

Prepare caramel by placing 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat without stirring, only swirling the pan to melt the sugar evenly.

2

Once the sugar starts to melt, continue to swirl the pan until all the sugar is melted and turns into caramel, avoiding any lumps.

3

Quickly pour the caramel into the prepared molds, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly before it hardens.

4

Use stale bread (bolillos) that has been frozen for a day, tearing it into small pieces to yield about 400 grams of bread crumbs.

5

In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs with 3 cups of milk and let it soak for about 5 minutes.

6

Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 2 eggs (added directly without whisking), 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, sugar to taste, and cinnamon (optional) to the soaked bread mixture.

7

Mash 4 ripe bananas with your hands (wearing gloves) and add them to the mixture, combining everything well.

8

Grease the sides of the molds with butter and decorate the bottom with banana slices before pouring the mixture into the molds.

9

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the molds for 45 minutes until set and golden brown.
