The banana and Nutella puff pastries are delicious puff pastry bundles and super quick to prepare. With a crispy outside and creamy filling, I had a roll of puff pastry nearing expiration, a couple of ripe bananas to use, and thought of making some delightful treats by adding coconut that pairs perfectly with bananas and hazelnut cream. Banana and Nutella puff pastries are ready in 5 minutes, perfect for a snack, breakfast, or an afternoon treat; they’re a hit with both adults and children!

Steps
Banana and Nutella puff pastries are super easy and quick to prepare; first, peel the bananas and cut them into small pieces.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet and spread a bit of Nutella over the entire surface (if it’s not creamy enough, heat it briefly in the microwave or in a double boiler).
Add coconut flakes and, along the bottom edge, make two strips with the banana slices.
Starting from the side with the fruit, roll the pastry to form a log.
Brush the roll with beaten egg, cut it into pieces about 1 inch thick, and sprinkle some coconut flakes on top.
Place the banana and Nutella puff pastries on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until they’re golden brown.
Finish the banana and Nutella puff pastries with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes:
Banana and Nutella puff pastries can be stored at room temperature for a day or in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can replace the coconut flakes with almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, or other nuts as you prefer.
