Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large flour tortilla (8-inch or 10-inch; whole wheat or spinach tortillas work too)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (natural preferred, room temperature)
  • 1 medium ripe banana (yellow with a few brown spots, firm but slightly yielding)
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sprinkles (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons crushed granola or cereal (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional, unsweetened)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm the tortilla: Place tortilla on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 10 seconds until pliable. (Alternative: heat in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in damp paper towel and warm in 300°F oven for 2-3 minutes.)
  2. Spread peanut butter: Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly over the entire tortilla, leaving a half-inch border around the edges. If peanut butter is thick, warm for 5-10 seconds first.
  3. Place banana: Peel the banana and place it at one edge of the tortilla, about 1 inch from the edge. Trim ends if banana is longer than tortilla.
  4. Roll it up: Fold the edge of the tortilla over the banana, tucking snugly. Roll tightly away from you, keeping it firm but not so tight that banana squishes out. If needed, spread a tiny bit of peanut butter on the far edge to seal.
  5. Slice into rounds: Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch rounds using a gentle sawing motion. Wipe knife clean between cuts for neat slices.
  6. Add toppings (optional): Dip each round in sprinkles, chocolate chips, or crushed cereal, or sprinkle over the top. For a sushi look, roll outer edges in crushed cereal or coconut.
  7. Serve immediately: Arrange on a plate like sushi rolls and enjoy fresh.

Notes

Warm the tortilla for 10 seconds in the microwave to prevent cracking. Use a serrated knife and sawing motion for clean slices. For nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter or WowButter. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free tortilla. Best eaten fresh; store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Do not reheat.
