A quick, fresh, and fun snack combining creamy peanut butter and ripe bananas rolled in tortillas or rice paper, perfect for a wholesome treat anytime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas (ripe but firm)
  • 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 large whole wheat tortillas or 4 rice paper sheets
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter with honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract if using. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  2. Place the tortillas or rice paper sheets flat on a cutting board. If using rice paper, dip each sheet in warm water for about 10 seconds to soften, then lay flat.
  3. Spread a thin layer of the peanut butter mixture evenly over each wrap, leaving about half an inch at the edges free.
  4. Sprinkle chia seeds or flaxseeds and shredded coconut over the peanut butter layer if using.
  5. Peel the bananas and lay one banana on the edge closest to you on each wrap. Trim bananas if too long to fit the wrap width.
  6. Carefully roll the wrap over the banana, tucking it in as you go to create a tight sushi roll. Use your fingers to gently press and shape the roll.
  7. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 1-inch thick slices, wiping the knife between cuts to keep slices clean.
  8. Arrange the sushi rolls on a plate and serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid soggy rolls. Smooth peanut butter spreads easier than crunchy. If peanut butter is too thick, warm slightly in microwave for 10 seconds. When using rice paper, dip briefly in warm water to soften but avoid soaking too long to prevent tearing. Rolls are best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated up to 2 days wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. To reduce banana browning, squeeze lemon juice on banana before rolling. For variations, swap peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter, add mini chocolate chips, fresh berries, or nuts for texture and flavor.
