In a bowl, add-in the egg yolks. Beat the eggs using a fork or a whisk. Do it slowly to avoid forming bubbles.
Pour-in the condensed milk, evaporated milk, banana extract, vanilla extract, and calamansi zest. Then add-in the mashed bananas. Mix slowly until well-incorporated. Remove leftover zest afterwards.
Pour-in the mixture evenly into the leche flan molds. Cover each leche flan mold with aluminum foil.
Transfer and the molds into the steamer. Steam for 30 to 40 minutes.
Let it cool down then chill in the refrigerator afterwards.
Invert the leche flan molds into a serving plate to transfer the flan. Serve and enjoy!
