What you will need
This recipe uses 8 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 6 sheets egg roll wrappers
- 0.5 cup Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
- 3 medium ripe bananas sliced into coins
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon water for sealing
- 0.25 cup crushed graham crackers optional topping
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prep the Filling Ingredients
Slice bananas into quarter inch coins and set aside. Have the Nutella ready at room temperature so it spreads easily. Do not use cold Nutella as it will tear the wrappers when you try to spread it.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper flat in a diamond shape. Spread about 1 heaping tablespoon of Nutella in the center. Lay 4 to 5 banana slices on top of the Nutella. Fold up the bottom corner, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the final corner with a dab of water.
Step 3: Heat the Oil
Pour oil into a medium saucepan and heat over medium high heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Test the temperature with a thermometer for accurate results.
Step 4: Fry to Golden Perfection
Carefully slide egg rolls seam side down into the hot oil. Fry 2 to 3 at a time for 2 minutes per side until deeply golden and crispy. Remove with tongs and rest on a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Dust and Serve
Mix powdered sugar with cinnamon and dust generously over the warm egg rolls. Serve immediately with a side of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of extra Nutella for dipping.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- Nutella → peanut butter or cookie butter spread
- banana → sliced strawberries or pitted cherries
- vegetable oil → coconut oil for a subtle tropical flavor
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Overfilling the wrappers with too many banana slices causing them to tear or burst during frying
- Not sealing the edges properly with water which causes the egg rolls to unfold and leak in the oil
- Frying at too high a temperature which burns the outside before the inside is warmed through
