Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
- 4 tablespoons Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 2 teaspoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean surface with all-purpose flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into two equal rectangles, making a total of four pieces.
Peel the bananas and trim the ends to ensure they fit neatly on the pastry rectangles.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create a spiced sugar mixture.
Sprinkle each puff pastry rectangle with 1 tablespoon of the spiced sugar mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.
Scatter 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts and 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips over the spiced sugar on each pastry rectangle.
Place a banana in the center of each prepared pastry rectangle.
Carefully fold the pastry over the banana, sealing the edges by pinching them together tightly. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops and seams of each pastry bundle with the egg wash to ensure a golden, glossy finish.
Place the wrapped bananas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the Bananas Wellingtons in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Wellingtons cool for 5 minutes.
Optionally, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving warm.
