Tips

You can also bake these Banana Wontons! Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or use a silicone mat). Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes until golden. To Airfry the banana wontons, cook them in a preheated Airfryer for 5 minutes until crispy.

Can’t find wonton wrappers? You can also use spring rolls wrappers (egg roll wrappers), phyllo dough, or ravioli dough.

Take care not to make the oil too hot. This will cause the wonton wrappers to burn too quickly. Use a thermometer to heat the oil to about 350°F.

Make sure to use an oil suitable for frying at higher temperatures. These include canola, peanut, sunflower, or corn oil.

You don’t have to use egg; you can also use water to brush around the edges. Do this if you want to make it vegan, and remember to use vegan wonton wrappers.

Serve the banana wontons with whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel sauce.

Banana Wontons Filling Ideas

You can try to pair these ingredients:

• Cranberry preserves and brie
• Nutella and strawberries
• Banana and strawberries
• Banana and blueberries
• Chocolate spread and orange marmalade
• Cream cheese and crushed pineapple
• Bananas and chocolate chips
• Marshmallow creme

You can also mash the banana and make banana “cigars” by rolling it up instead of triangular wontons.

Feel free to use any other nut butter if you want a less-sweet option. Almond butter, macadamia butter, or peanut butter will all work well.

Use plantains instead of bananas if you don’t like it as sweet!
