Loosen the kadayif strands with your hands and toss them with the melted butter.
Press half of the kadayif into the tray so the bottom layer stays crisp.
Place the banana slices and walnuts in the middle layer without letting them spill over the edges.
Cover with the remaining kadayif and bake the dessert at 190°C for 22 minutes.
After taking it out of the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes and serve with powdered sugar.
Do not serve the banana layer piping hot, so the fruit aroma does not become heavy.
💡 Tip: Adding the bananas at the last moment keeps them from turning completely into puree in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the kadayif and serve it warm after baking, with milk on the side.
