Ingredients
1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/2 cup Nutella
2 medium ripe bananas, sliced
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Optional Add-Ins
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Chopped hazelnuts or walnuts for extra crunch
Instructions
Preheat the oven Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the dough Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
Add the filling Spread about 1 tablespoon of Nutella onto the wide end of each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top with bananas Arrange 2 to 3 banana slices over the Nutella. If desired, sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or a few mini chocolate chips.
Roll and seal Starting from the wide end, gently roll each triangle toward the pointed tip, enclosing the filling. Pinch the edges lightly to help keep the filling inside while baking.
Bake Place the crescent pockets on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
Cool and serve Allow them to cool for 5 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm for the best gooey, melty texture.
Serving Suggestions
Drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel sauce.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
Pair with coffee, hot chocolate, or a cold glass of milk.
