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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean surface with all-purpose flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases.

Step 3

Cut each puff pastry sheet into two equal rectangles, making a total of four pieces.

Step 4

Peel the bananas and trim the ends to ensure they fit neatly on the pastry rectangles.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create a spiced sugar mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle each puff pastry rectangle with 1 tablespoon of the spiced sugar mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Scatter 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts and 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips over the spiced sugar on each pastry rectangle.

Step 8

Place a banana in the center of each prepared pastry rectangle.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.

Step 11

Brush the tops and seams of each pastry bundle with the egg wash to ensure a golden, glossy finish.

Step 12

Place the wrapped bananas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

Bake the Bananas Wellingtons in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 14

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Wellingtons cool for 5 minutes.

Step 15

Optionally, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving warm.
