If you love chocolate and bananas together, you will absolutely love how easy this Nutella Banana Wonton recipe is!
There is nothing I love more than finding a recipe for something delicious that is very low in calories and/or fat. This makes me smile.
Especially when you can describe it as a little bite of heaven.
I love to end the day with dessert, but since I have been eating healthier and calorie counting, I haven’t been consuming much dessert with the exception of the very occasional Skinny Cow ice cream treat on the days I have earned it.
Why we love this recipe
- quick and easy
- standard, easy to find ingredients from any store
- ingredients can be stored for up to a few weeks, to allow you to make them over and over
- only 60 calories
- if you are calorie counting, they are a fun, delicious snack that is perfect
This little bite of heaven is the perfect ending to nearly any day, coming in at only 60 calories for one. Believe me, one is enough, but you could even get away with two and still be considered a low calorie snack.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Wonton wrapper – these are commonly found in the produce department usually near the tofu or similar items. If you are feeling adventurous, you could totally make them from scratch.
Nutella – We measure out a teaspoon when making these, because if you add too much more, those calories really go up.
Banana – You only need a small slice for the wonton, but don’t be afraid to eat the banana right away too. Keep reading and you can learn how to make a whole low calorie meal out of these ingredients, just for these Nutella Banana Wontons.
Egg – remove the yolk and since you need such a small amount, go ahead and either poach what is left or scramble the yolk and whatever egg white is left and you have a nice protein packed snack, that you could turn into a breakfast with these Nutella Banana Wontons.
Cooking Spray – Use whatever kind you like.
Low Calorie Breakfast Idea
- 1 Nutella Banana Wonton (60 calories)
- 1 poached egg with leftover yolk and whites from making the Wontons. (71 calories)
- 1 banana leftover from making this recipe (90-ish calories depending on size)
Total calories for this breakfast idea: 220 calories – a nice protein and antioxidant rich breakfast
How to make a Nutella Banana Wonton:
Grab a cooking pan and spray it with a light coating of cooking spray.
Place a Wonton wrapper on the pan (or as many as you plan to make).
In the center of the Wonton wrapper add 1 teaspoon of Nutella.
Next, place the banana slice on top of the Nutella.
Then, dip your finger into the beaten egg and glaze the edges of the wonton wrapper.
Bring all of the corners into the middle and press them all together. They all of a sudden look fancy. I just noticed I needed to add more egg to my edges in this picture. So, yeah… add egg, make sure you add more than I did to make edges stay closed.
Place your bites of heaven in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes or until the wonton is how you enjoy it.
I have discovered that if I leave the wonton in the oven about 15 minutes and spray the top, I can get it kinda crispy, but I actually like it a little softer. This helps you decide if you want to go for a crispier outside, or a softer outside. I like them kind of in between.
If you want them a little bit softer, skip the cooking spray all together and pull them out at about 11 minutes so they are still easier to eat.
It’s all your choice.
Eat and enjoy! They are addicting.
(In other news, I have discovered that I can do a lot of things with Wonton Wrappers…more soon!)
(Oh yeah, and one other note – kids LOVE these. So make them when they aren’t around or make enough to share!)
