Ingredients in Banana Puff Pastry Rolls
Here’s what you need to make Banana Puff Pastry Rolls:
Bananas: Use fresh, ripe bananas with a golden peel and a few brown spots. These are naturally sweeter and soften beautifully when baked. Avoid underripe bananas, as they won’t caramelize as well.
Puff pastry: Store-bought puff pastry sheets work perfectly. Let it thaw before using, then roll it out lightly with a rolling pin to ensure even layers when baking.
Milk: Just a little splash is needed to brush the edge of the pastry so it seals well when rolled. You can also use cream for a richer finish.
Sugar: A sprinkle on top gives the rolls a light caramelized crunch. Regular white sugar works, but brown sugar will add a deeper flavor.
Chia seeds (optional): Sprinkle on top for extra texture and a slight nutty taste. You can swap them for sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or skip them if you prefer a classic version.

INSTRUCTIONS
