Ingredients
- 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
- 8 tsp. Protein Spread (Chocolate Hazelnut)
- 1 small banana
- Egg wash (1 small egg + 1 tsp. milk)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C.
First, unroll the pastry on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Use a knife to carefully divide into 8 even-sized rectangles.
Next, melt the Protein Spread so that it’s easily spreadable and add 1 teaspoon to the centre of each pastry rectangle. Use the back of the spoon to spread into a smooth layer that covers the entire surface of the pastry.
Add 3 slices of banana to the middle of one pastry rectangle, then carefully fold it over in half. Press down the edges with a fork to create a banana-filled parcel. Repeat for the other pastry rectangles.
Prod the centre of each parcel with a fork to create 3 little air holes, then brush the top with your egg wash. Repeat for all pastry sections.
Place in the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few moments. You may want to drizzle with more Protein Spread if you’re feeling extra.
Get stuck in — but be careful of that molten chocolate centre.
