Ingredients

Nutella is a chocolate and hazelnut spread that is used in pastries, on sandwiches, spread on this Brown Sugar Banana Bread or in these Nutella Brownies or Nutella Cookies. It is easily found in most store, or you can buy Nutella online.

Puff pastry and bananas are also used in this recipe.

What is Puff Pastry?

Puff pastry is a light an flaky dough made with alternating layers of butter and pastry dough. It is folded and rolled out before baking. When it bakes, the payers become airy, flaky, light and perfectly buttery. It's awesome. We use puff pastry in these awesome recipes:

• Cuban Guava Pastries
• Air Fryer Churros
• Mushroom Tart
• Cinnamon Swirls
• Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry

The full list of ingredients and quantities is included in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. 

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

1. If you have trouble with the edges sticking, dampen them with water before you seal them with a fork.
2. If you want them to look extra golden and pretty, brush them with egg wash (beat an egg with 2 teaspoons of water).
3. Dust them with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted Nutella for serving.
