Directions
1. Pulse flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add buttery spread; pulse until small crumbs remain. Add buttermilk; pulse until a sticky dough forms. Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface; shape into 2 equal disks. Wrap each disk with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F; line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Whisk bananas, egg yolk and cheese in a medium bowl until almost smooth; fold in walnuts and cinnamon. Makes about 2 1/2 cups filling.
3. Unwrap 1 disk of dough on lightly floured work surface; roll into 10 x 12-inch rectangle. Spread half the filling lengthwise over center of dough in a 3 x 11-inch rectangle; cut 12 (1-inch-wide) horizontal strips up to filling along each long side of dough, then criss-cross strips over filling, alternating from left to right, to create a plaited look. Carefully transfer kringle to prepared pan. Repeat process with remaining disk of dough and filling; place on same pan.
4. Beat egg white in a small bowl; brush over kringles and bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool kringles on pan on wire rack 30 minutes.
5. Whisk sweetener and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until smooth; drizzle over kringles and sprinkle with walnuts and cinnamon, if desired. Cut each kringle into 6 pieces.
