Banana Nutella Wontons Recipe

Introduction

These Banana Nutella Wontons combine the creamy sweetness of Nutella and ripe banana wrapped in crispy pastry for a delightful treat. Perfect as a quick snack or a fun dessert, they’re baked to golden perfection with minimal effort.

A pile of golden brown triangular pastries is placed on a red wavy-edged plate. Each triangle has a light and crispy outer layer with slightly browned edges, and inside there are two distinct filling spots – one darker chocolate area and a lighter banana slice visible under the thin dough. The pastries are dusted lightly with powdered sugar, giving a soft white contrast to the warm golden and dark brown shades. Around the plate, there is a white marbled surface with a white rectangular plate nearby holding more of the same triangular pastries, some slightly out of focus. A glass jar with dark chocolate spread is seen at the bottom left corner, adding a rich and glossy texture to the scene. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

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

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 create an egg wash.
  3. Step 3: Peel and slice the banana into half-inch thick rounds.
  4. Step 4: Lay the spring roll pastry squares flat on a clean surface.
  5. Step 5: Spoon ½ teaspoon of Nutella onto each pastry square, placing it slightly off-center. Top each with a banana slice.
  6. Step 6: Using a pastry brush, apply egg wash to two adjacent edges of the pastry. Fold over to form a triangle, then firmly pinch the edges to seal tightly.
  7. Step 7: Place the wontons on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  8. Step 8: Brush the tops of the wontons with more egg wash for a golden finish.
  9. Step 9: Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the wontons turn golden brown and crisp.

Tips & Variations

  • For a crispier texture, try frying the wontons in ½-inch deep vegetable oil over medium-high heat until golden brown instead of baking.
  • Use wonton wrappers as an alternative to spring roll pastry for a thinner, crispier shell.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or chopped nuts inside for extra flavor and crunch.

Storage

Store any leftover wontons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to maintain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the pastry soggy.

How to Serve

One pastry is held in each woman's hand, with the closer one showing a creamy filling with a slightly browned top layer, and the one farther away revealing a darker filling, likely chocolate. In the background, more triangular pastries are stacked on a white plate, all displayed against a white marbled surface. The pastries have a delicate, crispy texture with a shiny glaze in some spots. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen spring roll pastry for this recipe?

Yes, frozen spring roll pastry works well. Just thaw it completely according to package instructions before assembling the wontons.

Is it necessary to use an egg wash?

The egg wash helps seal the wontons and gives them a nice golden color when baked. If you prefer, you can use water instead, but the color may not be as vibrant.

Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Banana Nutella Wontons combine sweet banana slices and creamy Nutella wrapped in crispy spring roll pastry, baked or fried to golden perfection. A perfect dessert or snack that’s quick to prepare and irresistibly tasty.


Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 small banana, sliced into ½ inch pieces
  • 6 teaspoons Nutella

Wraps

  • 12 squares spring roll pastry (or wonton wrappers for frying option)

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the wontons.
  2. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small dish, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water until well combined; this will be used to seal and glaze the wontons.
  3. Slice Banana: Cut the small banana into approximately half-inch thick slices for the filling.
  4. Assemble Wontons: Lay out the spring roll pastry squares on a clean surface. Place about ½ teaspoon of Nutella slightly off-center on each wrap, then top with one banana slice.
  5. Seal Wontons: Brush the two edges of the pastry near the filling with the egg wash, then fold the pastry over diagonally to form a triangle. Gently pinch the edges together to seal firmly.
  6. Prepare Baking Sheet: Arrange the sealed wontons on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  7. Glaze Wontons: Brush the tops of the wontons with the remaining egg wash to help them brown beautifully during baking.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wontons for 13-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  9. Alternative Frying Method: For a crispier texture, you can use wonton wrappers and fry the wontons. Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
  10. Fry Wontons: Carefully add 4-6 wontons to the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown all over, turning as needed for even cooking.
  11. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat with remaining wontons.

Notes

  • You can use spring roll pastry for baking or switch to wonton wrappers if you prefer frying for extra crispiness.
  • Be sure to seal the edges well with egg wash to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
  • Serve these wontons warm for the best taste and texture.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle some powdered sugar or drizzle caramel sauce before serving.
