Olympic kayak champion Saul Craviotto pulled off something the biggest European food influencers have failed at - with puff pastry, banana and chocolate, he made a recipe that takes 7 minutes and is surprisingly good. No flour, no yeast, no plan. When the sweet craving hits and you have puff pastry in the fridge - you cook for 4 in one go.

The recipe is minimalist. You need: 1 sheet of puff pastry (ready-made from the shop), chocolate (a bar or a spread), 1 ripe banana, a little oil or butter to grease the waffle maker, and icing sugar to dust at the end.

The method is simple, and that's where the brilliance lies. Take the puff pastry out of the packaging and cut it into four rectangles. Using a small bowl turned upside down, cut out discs (or just make squares if you don't have a bowl - the result is the same). Heat up the waffle maker and grease it lightly with butter. Place the first disc inside.

On top - banana slices and chocolate pieces (cut from the bar, or spoon a dollop of spread). Cover with a second disc of puff pastry, and close the waffle maker. Wait until your device signals it's done - on most that's 4-6 minutes.

Take out carefully with the help of a knife (the puff pastry becomes firm and the edges can break). Dust with icing sugar. Cut into quarters. Serve while warm.

Why it works: because puff pastry gives volume and crispness that classic waffle batter never will. The banana caramelises in the heat and turns naturally sweet - meaning no extra sugar in the pastry. And the chocolate, which melts in the second minute, turns into a warm pocket at the centre.

For a weekend morning - brunch for two kids and two adults - this recipe stands up to any kind of criticism. The biggest plus: you don't leave any lingering smell in the kitchen, because the waffle maker stays closed.
