Directions

✓ researched
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Slice 3 bananas and mix with 100 g ground nuts.

    ⏱️ approx. 8 min

    💡 Tip: Banana baklava is a fruity take on the oriental classic – crispy phyllo dough with a banana-nut filling and maple syrup. Sweet and crunchy.

  2. 2

    Brush 200 g of phyllo pastry sheets individually with 100 ml maple syrup (or melted butter).

    ⏱️ approx. 6 min

    💡 Tip: Work with the phyllo dough quickly and keep it covered to prevent it from drying out. Brushing ensures the crispy layers.

    ⏱️ approx. 20 min

    💡 Tip: After baking, drizzle with additional syrup for extra moisture. Cut into pieces and sprinkle with chopped nuts.

📜 Origin & History

Baklava is a traditional pastry from the Ottoman Empire that has been widespread in the Middle East for centuries. The classic version uses nuts and honey syrup between phyllo dough layers. Banana baklava is a modern fusion creation that combines tropical fruits with traditional phyllo technique. Such adaptations emerged in the late 20th century through experimental chefs who combined Lebanese traditions with new ingredients.
