For filling, in a 2-qt. microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar, flour and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth.
Microwave, uncovered, on high until thickened, 7-8 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks. Gradually return to the bowl, stirring constantly. Microwave until bubbly, 30-60 seconds longer, stirring every 15 seconds. Stir in butter, vanilla and salt until butter is melted. Cool in bowl on a wire rack for 20 minutes, stirring several times.
Arrange bananas in crust. Top with filling. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. If desired, serve with whipped topping and additional sliced bananas.
