FAQ

Can I use puff pastry instead of croissant dough?

Yes, puff pastry works as a substitute, though it puffs up flakier and less buttery-soft than croissant dough. Reduce the baking time by 1-2 minutes since puff pastry tends to brown faster.

What if I don't have an Air Fryer?

Bake them in a regular oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 12-15 minutes on a lined baking tray until golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as oven baking times can vary more than in the Air Fryer.

Can I prepare these ahead and reheat them?

They're best served fresh and warm right after baking, so the pastry stays crisp and the banana stays soft. If needed, reheat leftovers in the Air Fryer for 2-3 minutes to bring back some crunch.
