1 Tbsp hazelnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped (optional)
1 Tbsp icing sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
Roll puff pastry out into a large square on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, slice the square down the centre lengthwise, creating two tall rectangles.
Lay a peeled banana in the middle of each rectangle then smear Nutella along one side of each banana. Fold in short edges of each rectangle, then roll up the pastry around the bananas reasonably tightly, as if you're making a banana burrito. Place both rolls on the lined baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, diagonally score the tops of both rolls. Brush with egg wash. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve immediately, whole or sliced into large rounds. Pairs excellently with cold vanilla ice cream.
