(Recipe) Mummied Bananas

Oct

It’s that time of year again when the air gets crisper, leaves transform into vibrant hues, and pumpkins start appearing on front porches. Yes, Halloween is just around the corner—about 2 to 3 weeks away—and there’s no better way to get into the spooky spirit than by whipping up some festive treats.

But before you reach for the sugar-laden candies and artificially colored snacks, consider something healthier yet equally fun: Mummied Bananas! Not only are they a great way to involve kids in the kitchen, but they’re also a nutritious option that doesn’t skimp on the Halloween flair.

(Recipe) Mummied Bananas

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Serves 3 mummied bananas

This spooky dessert will be a favourite this Halloween. Easy, just 3 ingredients, vegan, no added sugar.

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen vegan puff pastry
3 bananas
6 sultanas

Instructions

Remove the puff pastry from the freezer to defrost.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
Cut the puff pastry into 1cm wide strips.
Peel the bananas.
Wrap with the puff pastry strips (don’t be too pedantic about this!), leaving a spot for the eyes.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until lightly golden.
Remove from oven and use the sultanas as the eyes – press them gently into the cooked banana.
Serve immediately (serving suggestion: with dairy free custard or coconut icecream).
