Instructions

Tap a number to check off the step, and a time to start a timer.

Start by peeling the bananas and cutting them into chunks of about 3 cm. If needed, lightly sprinkle them with lemon juice to keep them from browning.

Unroll the puff pastry on a flat surface. Using a knife, cut the pastry into 10 cm squares. Depending on the size of the pastry, you can get between 8 and 10 squares.
Place a banana chunk in the center of each pastry square. Drizzle a spoonful of honey over each piece of banana to add a sweet, caramelized touch during baking.
Fold the corners of each pastry square toward the center, forming a tightly closed little parcel. For a perfect glaze, brush each pastry with melted butter or egg yolk using a pastry brush.
Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F for about . The pastries should be well golden and crispy when they come out of the oven.
Let cool slightly before serving. For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle the pastries with sugar just before eating.

Good to know

Chef's tip

Add a pinch of cinnamon to the honey to give these pastries a warm, comforting spiced touch! 🍯✨

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Puff pastry loses its crispy texture when thawed.

Storage : How long does it keep?

The puff pastry gets soft and the bananas oxidize. Best eaten fresh.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Same as batch cooking: loss of texture and oxidation of the fruit.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Ideally fresh. Reheat in the oven for 5-7 min at 160°C or in an air fryer. Microwave not recommended (softens the pastry).

Variations

Add a square of chocolate with the banana.
Sprinkle with sugar just before eating.
Brush with egg yolk instead of melted butter.

Mistakes to avoid

Letting the bananas turn brown: sprinkle them with a little lemon juice.
Closing the parcels poorly: fold the corners toward the center to form a tightly closed little parcel.
Baking in an oven that is too hot: 20 minutes at 180°C, until well golden.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make banana puff pastries?

Cut the bananas into 3 cm chunks, cut the puff pastry into 10 cm squares, place a banana chunk and a spoonful of honey in the center, fold the corners over, brush with glaze and bake for 20 minutes at 180°C.

How do you keep the bananas from turning black?

Lightly sprinkle the banana chunks with lemon juice after peeling them. This keeps them from browning before they are enclosed in the puff pastry.

How do you glaze banana puff pastries?

Brush each pastry with melted butter or egg yolk using a pastry brush before placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and baking them.

How many pastries do you get from one roll of dough?

Depending on the size of the roll, you can cut between 8 and 10 squares of dough measuring 10 cm per side. Each square gets one banana chunk and a spoonful of honey.
