Banana Nutella Eggrolls

Woah, guys. WOAH.

I was messing around on pinterest and saw something similar and decided to make due with what I had on hand.

**WARNING: THIS IS NOT HEALTHY. In fact, it's probably incredibly terrible as far as a snack goes. But for a simple dessert it isn't AS bad as other things (aka that cheesecake I had last night).


Banana Nutella Eggrolls

Servings: 8 (1 eggroll)




INGREDIENTS:
8 Nasoya Eggroll Wrappers
8 Tbsp Nutella
1 small banana, cut into slices
1 tbsp butter, melted
Cinnamon Sugar, for dusting
small bowl of water

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In the center of each eggroll wrapper spread 1 tbsp nutella. Then place slices of banana (approx 3 slices per eggroll). Roll up as you normall would an eggroll or burrito, folding in ends, and use your finger to seal the seam with water. Place seam side down on cookie sheet.
  4. Once all eggrolls are on cookie sheet, brush or spray butter onto each one and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. 
  5. Bake 10 minutes or until desired crispness/browning. 
Best served WARM.
