Mini Banana and Nutella Bites in Tempura
- Because you will love them for sure.
- Because you deserve it.
- Because you want to learn the recipe to prepare them for your grandkids when they come over to visit.
- Because chocolate and hazelnuts in small amounts are good for your body.
- And because you don’t need any reason to do what you feel like cooking!
Recipe
Ingredients for a kids' party: a sandwich cereals' bread pack, a nutella jar, 3 or 4 bananas and 100 grs of toasted hazelnuts. For the tempura: 2 egg yolks, half a liter of sparkling water and 250 grs of tempura sifted flour and sunflower oil to fry it.
- Prepare the sandwiches: spread the nutella on top of the bread, peel and cut the banana and slice the thinner you can. Place over the nutella. Cover with another sandwich bread. Use a round mold to get four pieces of each sandwich.
- Prepare a tempura with the ingredients above: beat the egg yolks and add the water and the sifted flour and mix. Heat the oil in a pot. Place the sandwich bites in the tempura and fry until they golden up. Leave them on kitchen paper until they dry a bit.
- Smash the hazelnuts in a mortar and place on top of each bite.
- Enjoy it :D.

At last, I see that there are other people who have dinner as late as us Greeks. I find it very weird to have dinner at 6 or 7 p.m. when traveling abroad. These look very tempting even for us grown ups.
I don’t know if you read about the lawsuit against Nutella for using hydrogenated palm oil which makes it very unhealthy.
In Greece we have a similar hazelnut chocolate spread called Merenda which I used it last week to make Banana Bread and my children love it and eat it every day. The label says they use vegetable oil but I am still worried because it is rather vague.
I guess we are hot blooded Mediterranean people ;D. I didn’t know about Nutella (not nice at all). Here we also have our own brand called Nocilla and in fact, that’s the brand I use normally, but wanted to try with nutella because it seems to have more hazelnuts. I will look their labels from now on.
However, I don’t think you should be worried, they probably don’t eat a good bunch every day.
I am definitely over 12 but I know I would enjoy these treats. Here in Canada I think the habit of eating early started because of the cold winter months when I am sure you wanted to be in bed and warm under the covers early…wink
