Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter or Nutella (optional)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the bananas and set them aside. If using peanut butter or Nutella, spread 2 tablespoons evenly over each banana.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly to ensure it's even in thickness. Cut the pastry sheet into two rectangles, large enough to wrap around each banana.
Place a banana on the edge of one pastry rectangle and gently roll it up, wrapping the banana completely. Seal the edges by pressing the pastry together lightly.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of the pastry-wrapped bananas with the egg wash.
If desired, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a separate small bowl, then sprinkle it evenly over the top of the pastry for added flavor.
Place the wrapped bananas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Allow the bananas in a blanket to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as-is, or top with a drizzle of chocolate, caramel, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence!
