Phyllo is lower in fat, and homemade dough can save costs.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Cut the puff pastry into squares, about 4x4 inches each.

Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.

Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.

Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate in the center of each pastry square.

Top the chocolate with a few banana slices.

Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon and a little sugar over the bananas.

Fold the corners of the pastry square over the filling to create a pocket.

Seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each pastry for a golden finish.

Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
