• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for glaze (optional)
• 1 tablespoon milk or water, for glaze (optional)

Step-by-step method

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking pan with parchment.
• Mash the ripe banana until smooth, then mix in the cinnamon and vanilla.
• Spread the banana filling over the puff pastry, leaving a narrow clean border.
• Roll the pastry into a log and slice it into 8 even pieces.
• Arrange the rolls on the lined pan and brush the tops with egg wash.
• Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
• Cool slightly; if using the optional glaze, stir powdered sugar with milk or water and drizzle before serving.

Serving and storage

Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, using moderate heat so the food warms through without drying out or losing its carefully developed texture.

Helpful questions

Can I prepare the ingredients ahead?

How do I know the recipe is ready?

Use the timing together with the color, texture, and temperature cues in the method. The finished ingredients should be evenly cooked and hold their intended texture without appearing dry or underdone.

Can I adjust the seasoning?
