These are most definitely a treat you won't want to miss making. Only three ingredients which are easily accessible. Who wouldn't want a pastry parcel filled with hazelnut chocolate spread with slices of banana?

Serves

Cooking Time
20
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 2 bananas (sliced)
- Vegan nutella
- More vegan nutella (added into a piping bag)
- Crushed hazelnuts
- Icing sugar
- Cacao powder
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 410°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Unroll your puff pastry sheet and cut into equal squares.
- Place a teaspoon of Nutella and 4 slices of banana in the centre of each square, leaving around 1/4-inch to seal the edges with dairy-free milk, then top off with another pastry square. Only add mixture to half of the squares.
- Repeat for all of the parcels.
- Press the edges firmly together with a fork. Make sure they are sealed or they will burst/leak when baking.
- Repeat for all of the parcels.
- Pop the pastries into the oven and bake for around 10-15 minutes until fully baked.
- Once puffed up and golden in color, carefully remove the pastries from the oven and pop onto a cooling rack.
- To serve you can drizzle over some vegan nutella, a sprinkling of crushed hazelnuts and a dust of icing sugar and cacao powder.
Notes
Best served warm. Store in a sealed container and enjoy within a few days of making.

Unless the puff pastry is made without wheat flour, it is not gluten free. The recipe sounds good, but I am afraid you may be misleading people.
I see posts all the time about the horrors of what is happening to orangutan habitat due to palm oil harvests. Then you feature vegan recipes featuring products like Nutella made from palm oil. Please check the products befor featuring them.
DJ – I couldn\’t have said it better myself. I was going to put a Palm Oil mention in these comments. It does seem a bit contradictory of a site called “One Green Planet" Thank you for posting this.
What gluten-free puffed pastry do you use? There are very few on the market so it is misleading to call this a gluten-free recipe.
