Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the honey and ground cinnamon to create a fragrant glaze.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface, if needed, and cut each sheet into 4 equal rectangles.
Place a banana slice diagonally across the center of each rectangle. Brush the slice lightly with the honey-cinnamon glaze.
Pull the opposite corners of the puff pastry rectangle together over the banana slice to form the bowtie shape. Press gently to seal the two corners where they meet.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of each puff pastry bowtie with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Carefully transfer the bowties to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the Banana Bowties to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
Optional: Dust the pastries with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your elegant Banana Bowties!
