A good thing about these Wontons with Banana and Coconut Caramel Sauce, apart from how flipping easy they are to make, is that it’s the sort of dessert that seems like it is full of calories, but it’s really not. Each wonton is no more than just 30 calories depending on the wonton wrappers you use, so a portion of four is totally doable as a dessert.

I used to prepare these by spraying them with my oil mister and while that works nicely, I’ve discovered that brushing them with melted coconut oil is even better, cause they’re thisclose to having exactly the same crispy texture as deep-fried wontons.

How to make Wontons with Banana and Coconut Caramel Sauce

Baked Banana Wontons

Heat up your oven to 400 F.

Mix cinnamon and banana using a small bowl. Place a teaspoon of banana filling in the middle of each wonton wrapper.

Brush edges of wrapper with a little bit of water, fold in to a triangle shape, and press edges together to seal nicely.

Brush both sides of every completed wonton with coconut oil or you can spray both sides using a cooking spray. Arrange wontons on a baking sheet.

Bake for about 10 minutes or until sides are browned and nicely crisp.

Coconut Caramel Sauce

Whisk together coconut milk, vanilla, and salt in a small bowl and leave aside.

Mix the sugar and water using a small saucepan on medium heat, and do not stir! Allow mixture to come slowly to a boil.

Once it starts to boil, watch it just like a hawk. Eventually the mixture will begin to smell like caramel and turn into a gold color, then lightly brown. This may take about 5-6 minutes.

Once you observe that it’s started brown, slowly pour in coconut milk mixture, and whisk constantly and fast. If the sugar hardens round the whisk, don’t worry, it’ll melt, just keep whisking!

Continue steadily to heat over medium-high until mixture has thickened and is just light caramel color, for around 5 minutes more. Drizzle over wontons and ice cream nicely.
