Ingredients

  • 1 small banana
  • 12 squares spring roll pastry (Note 1)

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Step 2: In a small dish, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.
  3. Step 3: Cut the banana into about half-inch slices.
  4. Step 4: Place the spring roll pastry squares on a clean surface.
  5. Step 5: Scoop ½ teaspoon of Nutella onto each pastry square, slightly off-center, then top with a slice of banana.
  6. Step 6: Using a pastry brush, brush egg wash on two adjacent sides of the pastry, then fold over to form a triangle and pinch edges to seal securely.
  7. Step 7: Arrange the filled wontons on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  8. Step 8: Brush the tops of the wontons with remaining egg wash for a shiny finish.
  9. Step 9: Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

Tips & Variations

  • For a crispier texture, use wonton wrappers and fry the filled wontons in about ½-inch deep vegetable oil over medium-high heat until golden, then drain on paper towels.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or chopped nuts inside for extra flavor and crunch.
  • If you don’t have spring roll pastry, phyllo dough works as a substitute, though it will be more delicate and require gentle handling.

Storage

Store leftover wontons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving as it may make the pastry soggy.

How to Serve

The image shows several triangle-shaped pastries stacked on a red scalloped-edged plate. Each pastry has a golden-brown flaky crust with slight darker spots where it is cooked more. Inside, a dark brown filling is visible through a translucent thin layer, with small pieces of light tan or beige filling mixed in. The pastries are lightly dusted with powdered sugar, giving a soft white contrast to the crust. In the background, part of a white plate holds similar pastries, and on the side, a brown jar is opened, filled with a dark spread. A bunch of ripe bananas with brown spots is also partly visible on a white marbled surface photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen spring roll wrappers?

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 small banana
  • 12 squares spring roll pastry (Note 1)
  • 6 teaspoons Nutella
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the wontons.
  2. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small dish, beat the egg together with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash that will help seal and glaze the wontons.
  3. Slice Banana: Cut the banana into approximately half-inch thick slices to fit nicely inside the wraps.
  4. Assemble Wontons: Lay out the spring roll pastry squares on a clean surface. Place ½ teaspoon of Nutella slightly off-center on each pastry, then add a banana slice on top.
  5. Seal Wontons: Using a pastry brush, apply egg wash to two edges of each wrap. Fold the wrap over the filling to form a triangle, pressing firmly to seal the edges tightly.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Arrange the sealed wontons on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup and even cooking.
  7. Apply Egg Wash: Lightly brush the tops of the wontons with more egg wash to help them attain a beautiful golden brown crust.
  8. Bake: Bake the wontons in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  9. Optional Frying Method: For an extra crispy texture, heat about ½-inch of vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Fry 4-6 wontons at a time until golden brown, then place them on paper towels to drain excess oil before serving.

Notes

  • Note 1: Spring roll pastry is preferred for baking; if using wonton wraps instead, frying is recommended for best texture.
  • You can substitute Nutella with any chocolate-hazelnut spread or peanut butter for variation.
  • Be sure to seal the edges well to avoid filling leakage during cooking.
  • Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
