Gather all the ingredients.
- 2
In a large skillet, combine the cinnamon, 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is well combined, 1 to 2 minutes.
- 3
Arrange the bananas in an even layer directly over the sauce. Cook over medium-low heat, flipping and stirring the banana slices once halfway through, until the bananas are golden brown and softened, about 6 minutes total.
- 4
Set aside 1/2 cup of the banana mixture in a small bowl; stir in the walnuts.
- 5
Using a potato masher, mash the banana mixture in the skillet over medium-low heat until thick and mostly smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the rice, salt, nutmeg, 1 1/2 cups of the milk, and the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thickened and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
- 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and the remaining 1/2 cup milk until well combined. While stirring constantly, slowly drizzle in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding has thickened slightly and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F (73 degrees C), about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat; stir in the vanilla and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until creamy and glossy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- 7
Divide the pudding evenly between 2 bowls and top each bowl with 1/4 cup of the reserved banana mixture. Serve with maple syrup and garnish with cinnamon just before serving, if desired. Serve warm, or let cool completely to room temperature before chilling overnight to serve cold. Recipe developed by Giovanna Vazquez.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
