Baked Banana

I love sweets. I have a major sweet tooth, I did a 25 days of Christmas goodies remember! Unfortunately my waist line also loves sweets. So when I can mix good with bad, it takes the guilt off. Like, chocolate covered strawberries,  fruit smoothies, frozen banana covered in chocolate, you get the idea. Well, this dessert is take care of the chocolate craving without add (to much) guilt!

 Phyllo dough (I divided one roll amongst 6 bananas)
6 medium ripe bananas

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts,

Cinnamon

Canola oil spray

Chocolate chips

Vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray an 13x9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.  

Unroll thawed phyllo dough and place it on your workspace, cut dough in half (cut in half the short way-you want two thick stacks not two thin ones). Divide each stack into three piles (leaving you with 6 stacks), place a peeled banana along one end and sprinkle the rest of the dough with a sixth of the chopped walnuts.  Sprinkle the banana with your desired amount of cinnamon and carefully roll it up in the phyllo dough.  

Place it seam-side down in the baking dish.  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.  

 Melt desired amount of chocolate chips with a little bit of oil mixed in (the oil helps the melted chocolate stay soft like a glaze).  Drizzle the chocolate on top of baked bananas. You can either serve this warm or cooled (I like mine cooled, while my sister likes hers warm), either way, serve with a yummy dollop of cool whip on

top. 

Enjoy!!!
