Servings: 8 servings
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 1 hr
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

Nonstick cooking spray
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
2 (12-ounce) tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough
6 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
2 bananas, sliced 1/4-inch thick
4 ounces (about 2/3 cup) semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

In a small saucepan, melt the brown sugar with the butter over low heat. Break open the crescent roll packages and separate the triangles of dough. Brush each triangle with sweetened condensed milk and top with 2 banana slices and 1 teaspoon chocolate chips; fold the edges of the triangle together and seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar.

Put half of the walnuts in the Bundt pan and top with half of the dough packets. Pour half of the brown sugar-butter mixture over the dough and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon sugar. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Bake until puffed, golden brown, and firm to the touch. Bake for 1 hour. Remove the pan from the oven, transfer it to a rack and allow it to cool for 15 minutes. Put a platter on top of the Bundt pan and invert. Slice and serve warm.

I am a regular baker and often purchase the best bakewear available before trying a new recipe like in this case. I followed the instructions exactly, and it did not turn out very well. It came out extremely dry. I did check on it with about 18 minutes left on the timer and it looked beautiful, so maybe take it out after 40 minutes or so... I just now read another reviewer saying the same thing, so I don't think this was a problem with just my oven. I have never had a problem following the bake time on other recipes so I don't believe it's the oven/oven temp. but an issue with the instructions. Didn't work for us, good luck!

This one did not work for me and I followed the directions EXACTLY! After cooking for 50 minutes (the recipe said 1 hour) it fell out of the pan like a frickin brick! It would have been totally been yummy though if it had not been so horribly overcooked. I should have taken it out earlier, (at 30 minutes) but I am not a baker, and I couldn't see removing it so early and disregarding the instructions on the recipe. I will probably try it again with a shorter baking time.

Don't quite understand the directions of "fold the edges of the triangle (?) together. Can you explain it a little more clearly? thank you

OMG! This was fantastic! I have made it three times and I think I have a problem. I took it to work for someones birthday and we ended up having to pass out copies of the recipe.
