I have a major sweet tooth.  I have tried to eat healthy and give up sweets a few times in my life, and whenever I do I am completely miserable!  I just can’t do it!  I feel a little less guilty when my dessert has fruit in it. Is that just me? This tasty treat was so easy to make and the baked bananas are absolutely amazing!

Ingredients

  • 4 (9"x 14") sheets phyllo (fillo) dough
  • 4 medium ripe bananas
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped walnuts, crushed into a coarse powder
  • cinnamon
  • canola cooking spray
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
  2. Spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with canola oil or nonstick cooking spray. 
  3. Unroll thawed phyllo dough and place it on your workspace.  Remove one sheet, place a peeled banana along one end and sprinkle the rest of the dough with a fourth of the walnut powder.  Sprinkle the banana with a little cinnamon and carefully roll it up in the phyllo dough.  Place it seam-side down in the baking dish. 
  4. Repeat with remaining bananas.  Spray the top of the bananas with canola oil.  Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.  
  5. In a small bowl, combine dark chocolate and vegetable oil.  Microwave in 30 second increments until melted.  Drizzle dark chocolate on top of baked bananas and sprinkle on any remaining walnuts.

    Wow! So I am currently on a dairy/soy free diet for my little baby boy...and I am STARVING for dessert recipes. This looks soooo good! :) And I have chocolate I found with no dairy in it so I think I might be making this today minus the phyllo dough...haha and then with the phyllo dough when I can eat delicious things again.

    Thanks for sharing on Somewhat Simple!

    Have you tried replacing coconut milk in place of milk in desserts. Coconut has a high fat so it is a good replacement even for a cream.
