Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas
• 2 puff pastry sheets (thawed)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the honey and ground cinnamon to create a fragrant glaze.

Step 4

Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface, if needed, and cut each sheet into 4 equal rectangles.

Step 5

Place a banana slice diagonally across the center of each rectangle. Brush the slice lightly with the honey-cinnamon glaze.

Step 6

Pull the opposite corners of the puff pastry rectangle together over the banana slice to form the bowtie shape. Press gently to seal the two corners where they meet.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of each puff pastry bowtie with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the bowties to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between them.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the Banana Bowties to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.

Step 11

Optional: Dust the pastries with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your elegant Banana Bowties!
