Directions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the dessert.
- Prepare the bananas: Peel the bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash them well with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
- Add the eggs: Crack the eggs into the bowl with the mashed bananas. Beat the mixture well until fully combined and slightly frothy.
