Roll out your puff pastry slightly. Cut it into strips about 2–3 cm wide. Wrap each banana piece in a strip, leaving a small gap at the ends for a nice golden finish.
4. Add Flavor
Sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar and cinnamon over the wrapped bananas. For an extra indulgent treat, add chocolate chips or a dab of Nutella inside the pastry before wrapping.
5. Brush with Egg
Brush the tops of the puff pastry with a beaten egg. This helps it turn beautifully golden and crispy.
6. Bake to Perfection
Place the wrapped bananas on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed and golden brown.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce if desired. These treats are perfect for dessert, snack time, or even breakfast with coffee.
