Where to find ingredients
Look for ripe bananas, condensed milk, margarine, and ground cinnamon in the fruit and dairy sections of supermarkets, neighborhood grocers, or open-air markets. If needed, butter can be used as a substitute for margarine.

- Cover the bananas while still hot with the condensed milk and sprinkle ground cinnamon to taste over the entire surface
