Step By Step Instructions
First, thaw your puff pastry at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Carefully unfold it and lay it flat.
Cut the sheet into 9 equal squares. I use a pizza cutter for this.
On 4 of the squares, place a piece of banana and 2 teaspoons of Nutella on top.
Place the other 4 squares on top and seal the edges. I find it best to use a fork for this. Make sure the edges are nice and sealed so none of the Nutella leaks out while baking.
Place your stuffed pastries on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake in a 400F degree oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove and patiently wait until they are cool enough to touch.
Serves as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of Nutella (or both if you want to get all crazy).
Variations
- Add sliced strawberries or diced apples in place of the bananas;
- Substitute a teaspoon of peanut butter for 1 teaspoon of Nutella;
- Crumble up some potato chips and add them for a salty sweet combo;
- Replace the bananas with marshmallows for a Nutella S'mores option.
Expert Tips
- If you have trouble with the edges sticking, dampen them with water before you seal them with a fork.
- If you want them to look extra golden and pretty, brush them with egg wash (beat an egg with 2 teaspoons of water).
- Dust them with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted Nutella for serving.
